Once again cold season is upon us, and having started suffering from one yesterday I had a thought: how to Shine readers take care of their skin after it has been ravaged by a cold? I know in the past I have used the routine of smearing my nose with Aveeno lotion throughout the day and then I use the foot cream by Collective Wellbeing. I know, foot cream weird. But this stuff is truly amazing and nongreasy, it smells spicy instead of pepperminty and it doesn't make me break out. Inevitably my nose and the area around it always end up super flaky any way, no matter how much I moisturize. I will use a very gentle scub on it and this seems to work ok. I'm just curious to know what other's routines are during the cold and flu months, or just the harsh winter cold in general. Thanks for your imput!

Report AbuseThis sounds gross, but rub a bit of chapstick on your finger and apply to your poor little nose. Chapstick doesn't burn like some of the minty balms do. I go with a heavier moisturizer in the winter too. I usually just use Oil of Olay but will step up to a cream. Hope in a Jar is miraculous, as is the entire Philosophy line, imho. And I love those plug-in thingies that have aromatic vapours-like camphor, mint, eucalyptus.
