Beauty QT: Dealing with a Flaky Nose


It is winter now (well close enough!), which means that it is getting much colder and our skin is starting to dry out. What do you do if you notice that the skin on your nose is all flaky and you are not at home? Putting more foundation or powder on it will only make it look worse. If you have non-scented lotion then you can dab some of that on your nose, but most of us have scented hand lotions which irritate your facial skin. 

To get rid of that flaky skin try putting some lip balm on it. I know it sounds weird but it is meant for dry chapped areas. It will instantly sooth your skin and diminish the appearance of the flakes. You will probably have to reapply a couple times throughout the day but it is a great trick. Just make sure your lip balm is clear and doesn’t have any sparkle to it. You don’t want to have Rudolph’s nose. ;-)

My favorite lip balms are EOS, Smooth lips  and Nivea.

What are your favorite lip balms? Will you try this?

  1. I've never though of that! Definitely have to remember this! My favorite lip balm is the moisturizing Classic Chapstick. It's clear and has a vanilla-y flavor/smell. Perfect for the winter months!

  2. My favorite lip balm is eos and Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. I probably won't try it since I'm really picky about what I put on my face. eos lip balm probably wouldn't be that bad though since it's 100% natural and 95% organic.
    Most face lotion doesn't have heavy fragrances in them, so it shouldn't bother most people's skin. You could always try a face lotion for sensitive skin too. :)

    1. This isn't an everyday fix. This is just for when you are out and realize your nose is flaky and all you have are the contents of your purse. =)
