Do you cleanse your pores separately?

I don't like anything irritating to my skin, so I'm trying to manage with just hydration and soothing skincare instead of using nose packs, but I'm wearing makeup and a mask.

As time goes by, I feel like I've really reached my limit. Lately, I've been worried because my nose pores look so prominent, so I'm looking for something good.

I was looking for a product, and after watching a YouTube video by a famous makeup artist, I saw that they use oil on the nose.

I heard that if you apply it and rub it with a brush, it washes off thoroughly. Since oils don't agree with me, when I cleanse...

I'm thinking of trying that, but I'm also wondering if it's okay to rub my pores hard with a brush.

I actually think that might be more irritating, and that using a nose pack would be better.

Do you guys cleanse your pores separately? Please recommend a gentle method if you know of one!
