ARSENIY NESKHODIMOV
Body care

I was born with a big nose and around age of twelve I started to be ashamed of it. I even tried to save money to have a plastic surgery. When I was around 23 years old I reconciled with myself.
Nowadays there are clothespins for the nose, it is assumed that if you wear them the nose becomes thinner. Now I’m 37 years old and I finally decided to try a variety of modern devices and procedures except for the surgery to understand whether they can somehow improve my appearance.
In fact wearing certain masks to adjust the shape of the face or clothespins reducing the nose turned out to be a real self-torture. There is no evidence that this cream or that mask actually work and in order to find it out I probably need a lifetime.
