Exfoliate and moisturise with some VERY moisturising cream.

Recommend Eucerin... good chemists will have it.

do you where foundation round your nose?

Hi babe, I get dry skin around my nose so I put a light layer of E45 on it before I apply my make up. It's brill.

In future, honey, when you have a cold, leave open a box of baby wipes to dry out and use them as a substitute for tissues. They're not so rough on your skin xxx :o)

[stylinsam]

not just round my nose 4getmenot, i wear it all over my face, but i mean at the mo iv only got a tinted moisturiser on my face and it looks really flaky NOW so its bound to look flaky when i put my foundation on later!!

;o)

[4getmenot]

Yer thats what I meant. I mean do you really need to put foundation on the whole of your face. I never do, i just put a bit of cover up stick under my eyes to cover dark circles. If you didnt then you wouldnt get flaky bits, will also let your face breath

[stylinsam]

haha, 4getmenot yep i do that in the day time but i like to go the full foundation palarva, when i go out, ;oP

Put a tonne of vaseline around your nose before u go to sleep or E45 as mentioned above is good.

I use Vaseline for all dry skin problems, if i have chapped lips - which are a fave with me in the winter i just load up with a thick layer of vaseline on my lips beforei hit the sack!

I also use it for dry skin (when th esun tan starts fading...:o()

This is an emergency stylinsam , so add a teaspoon of sugar to your soap or facial wash. This will act as an exfoliator.

Then treat yourself to a tube of Clinique Gentle Exfoliator...rinse off formula - as a standby or a once-a-week beaty treatment. It lasts for a couple of years so is well worth every penny.

Ooh, try Carmex for your lips in the winter, nat! It is an absolute must-have (can't use on your face though). Just amazing!! :o)

.......or even beauty treatment :-)

[4getmenot]

ouch wouldnt exfoliating hurt your scabby nose :-(

[stylinsam]

i was thinking that myself 4getmenot! ;o)

[Cetti]

No, not sugar. You wouldn't scrub at it would you?

Gently does, hardly any pressure at all... in small circles round your nose, then all over your face.

no use for you now sam, but in future when you got sniffles use hapinose-its brill stops nose getting all sore and flaky. It's way better than vaseline and eucalyptus too!
