Dry Nose!
by Amanda
(Spokane, WA)
Hello Nanette,
Every three weeks or so my nose becomes so dry on the outside that it looks like lizard skin! It then begins to peel, and no cleanser, lotion, or exfoliator gets that dry, scale off. In order to make the layer of dry skin go away, I have to literally scrape it off with a pair of tweezers! I know it's very weird to do that and I cringe at what the long-term damage of my nose-skin will be (as I am only 22), but nothing else works, and I can't go walking in public with a layer of dry skin just hanging out on my face. I always drink plenty of water each day, use moisturizer, wash my face with a mild soap, lightly exfoliate (I use Clinique's 3 Step Skin care for dry skin), and stay out of the sun, but still have issues. Any better suggestions for me to try or get rid of the dry skin with?
Thank you,
