Hi , I've been using a cpap for a little over two years now . I still have to be real tired to put it on but thats another story. My real problem is my face is getting very dry . I mean you can actually see where the mask sits on my face . Is this normal? I've tried all kinds of skin lotion but none seem to help. Does any one else have this problem ? I tried using the nasal mask but i really don't care for it . It makes my nose to cold.

As you can see, I am an major insomniac, lol, put on the mask when I finally feel tired and am ready to sleep.

However, I just went through that and found that the mask was to tight on my face. Hope this helps.

My skin feels younger under the mask, probably the result of moisture over night, like babies skin, and i'm no baby for sure. I do take 800 units of vitamin, and many other large dose vitamins. Jim

It might be said, I'm chasing the Horse, after I left the Barn Door open. I should have taken better care when I was younger, but then I didn't worry, I was Bulletproof. Now I'm a Sieve.

Try using AQUAPHOR. If you use a very light layer on the affected areas in the morning only (so it won't interfere with mask seal) it should fix those dry areas after a day or 2. You can get it in most drug stores and major supermarkets. Get the smallest jar or tube you can, it lasts forever! You could try contacting them for a sample and see if they will send you one...try clicking this;
