Red noses alert
When we have a cold, our noses usually get red and dry from all the insistent blowing, and some of us walk around all winter looking like Santa Claus or one of his red-nosed deer. As if that isn’t enough, the area between our nose and lips becomes chafed and irritable, and this becomes even more unbearable than the actual cold.
Vaseline can help with this chafing as well (is there anything this gel can’t do?). Rubbing just a bit of Vaseline on the chafed area around the nose can alleviate the irritation and prevent red noses. Some people believe that rubbing Vaseline on the bridge of the nose, before the area gets red and irritable, might help to prevent that.
