4 Reasons Why The Skin Around The Nose Feels Dry And Flaky
Written by Urvi DalalJul 16, 2020
Dry skin around the nose is a common skin issue, which most of us deal with. And while it’s NBD, it can pose as a real obstacle when trying to blend foundation on that area. The dry, flaky skin around the nose makes your foundation and concealer crease, making it appear patchy and unappealing.
Wondering what causes dry skin around the nose in the first place? Here are four major culprits to blame…
Exposure to harmful elements in the environment is one of the most major causes of dry skin around the nose. Change in weather or drop in the temperatures tends to dry out the skin around your nose even though the rest of your skin stays hydrated and supple. Additionally, sun exposure is another major cause of dry skin around the nose. To prevent this, ensure that you apply and reapply a good quality sunscreen each and every day.
02. Cold or allergies
If you have a common cold or other allergies that make you sneeze, then chances are that the skin around your nose perpetually feels dry. This is because the constant friction of blowing your nose or even touching it, puts a lot of pressure on the skin, making it feel raw and dry. Use a smooth tissue to clean the nose and don’t rub the skin too hard.
03. Long, hot showers
Most of us love taking a long shower with hot water, and we even wash our face in the shower. But the hot water can strip your skin of moisture and make it feel super dry and flaky. Therefore, avoid hot showers as far as possible; if you can’t do without it then keep them really short and avoid washing your face in the shower.
04. Lack of hydration
Sometimes, despite slathering on ample of moisturiser, the skin around the nose still looks dry. This could be a sign of dehydration. The best way to combat this is to increase your water intake to keep your body properly hydrated from the inside out.
