“Dry Skin Drama? 10 Hilarious Ways to Rescue Your Nose and Mouth Before You Start Peeling Like a Ban
BY: ISHANI JAIN
The thickest part of the skin, especially around the nose and mouth, is no welcome guest to the party and is a well-known enemy of skincare trends. You go from looking radiant to waking up with dry, rough, and itchy skin that looks like it wants to be part of a winter desert movie. That’s okay—you are not the only one, and you don’t have to resort to skincare memes to get by.
Here are 10 proven (and quite cheesy) methods to deal with dry skin around the nose and mouth and to spice things up a little. And if you can’t even laugh about your flaky face, then what’s there left to laugh at?
1. Hydration:
This is not just a saying that has been said for plants, you get the picture.
There’s no way to battle dry skin without addressing it on the skin’s outer layer as well as the dermis. Imagine yourself as a salon-aged houseplant that will require watering every now and then. Consume not less than 2 liters of water per day and eat foods with high water content such as cucumber and watermelon.
Bonus: It’ll also make you feel ultra-healthy and pose for an Instagram story-worthy shot of the day.
Pro Tip: Always have a water bottle on you as if you have a new best friend. And it’s not just the phone that you can conveniently forget; there is no way you could forget your hydration game.
2. Moisturizer Is Your New Religion
In case you are not born again this year, do so by becoming a true devotee of moisturizer. Buy a fatty, rich formula and look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or glycerin, which you can find in the NEWLOOK 24HR RICH MOISTURIZER & NEWLOOK GLYCERIN GEL. These magical molecules will help to eliminate the need for your skin to seek relief and moisture.
Funny But True: If your moisturizer doesn’t make your face look like a little glazed donut after application, maybe it’s not working.
3. Avoid Scalding Showers (Sorry H2O-addicts)
Of course, amid the cold season, one of the sweetest things that one can ever imagine is being under the shower with steam. But here’s the deal: hot water is the enemy of your skin; it removes oils from your face and body. Use lukewarm water, and we promise you will be more than grateful.
Fun Fact: You don’t need Game of Thrones water temperature to get warm – the feeling can be achieved with much less. Your skin will fight it, and nobody wants their nose to look like it just conquered Mount Everest.
4. Be Besties with a Humidifier
Winter air is as dry as your sense of humor after a bad breakup, and your skin certainly knows it. Then comes the humidifier, your long-lost friend. Humidifying the air will work a treat for your face, maybe for your nose and mouth particularly.
Pro Tip: Put the humidifier in your bedroom at night so that the air doesn’t feel as dry when you wake up in the morning.
5. NEWLOOK’s 24hr Rich Moisturizer: The High-Tech Hydration Hero
And if you are desperate, grab NEWLOOK 24hr Rich Moisturizer. In contrast to the regular creams, this formula provides deep hydration due to its moisture-sealing system. It helps soften rough skin and forms a shield to retain moisture all through your day.
Why It Rocks:
⦁ Intense Hydration: Filled with moisturizers to effectively give your skin the kind of nutrients it needs.
⦁ Moisture Lock Technology: Retains water content and defines environmental effects.
⦁ Non-Greasy Finish: Ideal for every man who never wants to look like he dipped his face in butter.
Funny Visualization: That’s why you can think of it as your face’s bodyguard – it’s constantly working when you are, warding off dryness and flakiness.
6. Exfoliate Gently (Keyword: Gently!)
Dry and scaly skin is asking for a scrub, but do not go to the extreme. Choose a mild chemical peel, such as lactic acid, or a mild mechanical peel using superfine grains. You are not sanding skin like an old piece of furniture that you are going to turn into a coffee table.
Warning: If your face feels hot, like you’ve scalded your skin after exfoliating, then you’ve overdone it.
7. Honey: Sweet Treat for Your Skin
She said honey is not only good for drinking with your tea, but for its ability to maintain moisture and fight bacterial infections. Put it on a thin layer around your nose and mouth and let it work for 10 minutes, then wash with warm water.
Fun But Sticky Idea: Oh yeah, don’t lick your face during the process, even though at certain stages it might feel so tasty.
8. Enough of the NYSE Games – Pick the Flakes
Oh well, we understand that it’s quite tempting to scratch the skin and remove the dead cells. Although, believe us, this is a straight ticket to both redness and irritation. Leave the poor little flakes alone and let your skincare regimen pay off.
Comparison You’ll Never Forget: Scab picking is like taking off wallpaper; it seems so satisfying at the beginning, but you are just creating more chaos.
9. Sunscreen: Not Just a Summer Fling
People should remember that even under the winter coat, the sun from the frosty sky is still dangerous to the skin around the mouth and nose, as it just worsens the dryness and irritation. It is beneficial to apply a mild moisture-packed lotion with at least SPF 30 every day to prevent damage to the skin barrier.
Skincare Wisdom: Sunscreen can be best described as the warm sweater you wear on your face to shield you from sharp weather and uncomfortable feels.
10. Give Your Skin Repair Cream
When your skin cries like a baby because it needs barrier repair cream with ceramides, niacinamide, and fatty acids to pamper it, you’ll be amazed at how well it works. This helps build natural barriers, softness, remove dryness, and stop irritation.
Skincare Wisdom: Apply twice a day, just like you pray twice a day, to help your skin soak in the goodness. It’ll make you feel like you’ve just returned from the spa.
Extra Tip to Say Goodbye to Flakes?
⦁ Go Easy: Use products made for your skin with all gentle ingredients.
⦁ Protect: Use protection cream like SPF or cover your skin with cloth.
⦁ Lips: This part is the dry zone that should be protected, as it’s the best weapon to win an argument.
