blowing one's nose
Tissue to face
Blowing one's nose is forcing air through the nasal passages to expel mucus, typically into a tissue or handkerchief.
The phrase describes the action rather than the sound, though the sound is often what announces it: She stepped away to blow her nose.
During cold season, people spend a lot of time blowing their noses.
