Recommendations wanted: mask-safe moisturizer

Hi all!

So I’m in the middle of a cold, which with all the nose blowing has given me the classic Rudolph-red and dry nose. Pre-CPAP I’d lather it up with a moisturizer I had on hand to try and combat the dry and uncomfortable skin overnight.

Now however, everything I have seems to be petroleum or oil-based and not recommended for use with masks. I usually need a liner or bandaids to protect my skin and create a better seal, but removing the bandaids is now painful, and sneezing makes my liners well, ... unfortunate Kleenexes.

Does anyone have a go-to, over-the-counter, mask-safe moisturizer that combats dry skin? I’d love to get some recommendations.

Thanks!

I've got a lot of lanolin left over from when I was getting used to the nasal pillow mask... I've used that on my sore nose to good effect.

It's for using on nursing mothers sore nipples, and it's safe for the mask.

take off, eh?

what palerider refers to is Lansinoh. you can find a wee tube of the stuff in the baby section of your supermarket or drugstore.

it really is good stuff!

Lansinoh brand lanolin. (Lansinoh makes all sorts of things for mom.)

Thank you!! I knew there had to be something readily accessible. I’ll have to give lanolin a shot.

Awe man. I love my fellow ‘hosers’ eh?

Lansinoh is purified lanolin. It is odorless.
You may be able to find raw, natural lanolin--but do not open it up indoors.
That kind has a natural, STRONG smell.

Yep, you got it!
