I has the flu for almost a week and the constant "nose blowing" caused my nose region to dry up and its all peely and flaky now!

what can I do to patch the area up??

Thanks

vaseline maybe? i think....but not too much

I just got over a horrible flu which turned into bronchitis, lasted for weeks.
Same problem.

Use Vitamin E creme or oil.  Lysine cream also helps. Stick with 100% all natural stuff as chemicals will irritate it further.  You can find these things at a Health Food store.

Its also important to drink tons of water to rehydrate yourself after being sick.
Zinc is also important for immune strength and heals tissues.

try using "tru blue / lay it on thick" cream w/ shea butter....sold at bath and body.....it works great on dry skin!!!!  ~

I use a moisturizer from Origins (www.origins.com).  I use "A Perfect World."  My skin gets really dry in the winter because of the dry air.  I love it cause not only is a great moisturizer but it has Vitamin C and it evens out your skin tone and contains White Tea which firms and is anti-aging and a whole bunch of other great stuff.

Facial Scrubs from Origins are good too to loosen all the dead flaky skin around your nose.  I use "Modern Friction" which contains Rice Starch and Aloe (just to name a few).  Try it and you just might like it.  I'm hooked and it makes my skin feel nice and glowy and so damn smooth (like a baby's bottom) LOL.

Hope that helped!

well i would use a vit. E or aloe vera even a body butter, they make ones for the face now i would slather your nose with vit E or Aloe while you are sleeping and use a gentile srub to remove the dead skin in the morning:) hope that helps Mandy of deadly design makeup artistry

How about baby oil?

Baby oil is the absolute worst for dry skin.  It just sits on top of your skin and smells good.

Speaking from experience....Neosporin ointment. It also takes the pain away! That is all.

almond oil !  almond oil!!! 

(you can apply it  to a models realllly dry patches and then let it set a bit ...obviously get all the excess off before the makeup)
