Dry Skin

Dry and flaky skin, which occurs on the nose during a cold, is not pleasant and definitely not pretty.  I am still getting over my cold and the dry skin is unbearable.  I have tried different types of lotions, Vaseline and even lip balms. This helps for the most part but does not make the dry skin go completely away.  I think the best way to try to get rid of this flaky skin is by exfoliating the skin on the nose.  Not only will this give you brand new shiny skin but it will also help you with relieving your cold.

Take a small clean towel, either wet it in really hot water or microwave it once wet.  Use an exfoliating scrub, not mild, you need to use something harsher to fight the dryness. Rub and massage the dry skin away with your towel and scrub. Afterwards wash away with clean water.  Repeat if necessary.  It is also smart to try using an exfoliating scrub that has peppermint or some sort of a relieving scent in it. Use a soothing lotion as well. 

Let me know how it goes, I know I can’t wait to get better and have my skin looking shiny and fresh once again.
