Simplistic nose protection.

Post by Islandwoman » Wed Feb 14, 2018 5:02 pm

Just recovering from a 2 week bout of type A Influenza. I use a Circadiance Advance cloth mask. Never any irritation. This flu though gave me a terrible scabby area under my nostrils. As I was putting on a lip protector for my cracked lips then under my nose. I knew it would make a mess of my mask so I tore a narrow strip of TP and applied it over the sticky area. Worked like a charm. The paper stayed in place, none got on my mask and my nose was better. I did use a lip soother from my local health food store. No petroleum, no mint, no preservatives. I used a strip every night and it never came loose and I never got a sore nose.It's
worth a try for anyone with irritation from a mask.
