Do you suffer with dryness or redness on either side of your nose?
We see Red flakey dry skin around nose everyday with our skin consultations and as we always say, "there is always a solution to the problem and there is generally a reason why these things show up on our skin".
Here's some of the most common reasons and how to fix it.
- One of the most common causes is a deficiency in B vitamins, so grab yourself good quality B complex vitamins from your pharmacy or health food store. (Generally, you are extra tired if you are low in B vitamins). Symptoms of vitamin B deficiency may vary depending on which B vitamin you’re deficient in. You may experience fatigue, skin rash, or even confusion. Environ super moisturiser is also great as it contains niacinamide, which is the B family). It is a luxurious emollient that relieves that dried out feeling that the skin can sometimes have due to external factors or over exfoliation.
- Not washing your cleanser off properly, especially a gel cleaner or cleansers with an acid. One area we tend to miss is the crevasse around the nostrils. Over time, it can agitate the skin.
- Windburn, Sunburn, impaired barrier from overuse of exfoliators. Lifestyle or work - Welding without a mask causing an impaired skin barrier, working in a kitchen, heat from ovens can over sensitize the skin and cause Red flakey dry skin around nose.
