If you have a flaky and dry nose, it is often because of irritation, dryness, or sometimes even sensitivity to weather changes. Vaseline can help lock in moisture, but sometimes it does not provide enough hydration on its own, especially if the skin needs extra repair.
For a situation like yours, I often recommend a thicker, hydrating cream or ointment with ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients work well to deeply hydrate and repair the skin barrier. Look for ointments labeled as ârepairingâ or âhydrating,â and try to find one that is fragrance-free to avoid any irritation.
If you still do not see improvement, consider a gentle, hydrating face cleanser to use before applying the ointment. Sometimes dry patches need a little extra care both during cleansing and moisturizing. Lastly, avoid using hot water on your face as it can make dryness worse. Warm water is gentler on the skin and helps retain moisture better.
