Get ready to give your nose some extra love and care on Wash Your Nose Day, coming up on March 11! This quirky holiday may not be as well-known as others, but it's a great reminder to pay attention to our often overlooked nose. Did you know that the average person touches their face over 20 times per hour? That means our noses can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.
