Anti Aging Skin Tips

does anyone have a problem with dry skin around the nose that peels and wont seem to go away?

My boyfriend has this problem it gets really irratated in the sun but the skin gets dry regardless. he has no idea what it is but when it peels his skin just gets all red and irratated, then its starts peeling again. hes tried all kinds of creams nothing works. His mom also has it to. does any one know what it is or what to use for it?

1. try chapstick. it works. as for what it is, i dont have a clue
2. yes...use Clean & Clear oil-free Dual Action Moisturizer once or twice each day...(purple and white container)
3. He may have a condition called Rosacea (Not sure of the spelling). I know someone else who has that, but I'm not sure what he uses to treat it...go to the doctor about it
4. My boyfriend has it too. I don't know what it is and he has had it his whole life. He lotions his nose everyday. He uses Olay Body Quench. He says it works !!! Even better than my Mary Kay!!!
5. consider it a possible food allergy, look up 'Celiac' disease on the web
6. drink lots of water. flaky skin is dry skin. :-)
7. He needs to wear a sunblock.His nose is susceptible to sunburn.It happens to me,too.
8. I get flaky skin just around the nostrils. At night, in addition to my regular night cream I also use cocoa butter on that area. It looks greasy, but it's only at night, and helps with the flakes and the redness.
9. i get that often. especially when the air is really dry. it could be skin allergies or he may have really sensitive skin. i've both. it's probably a form of contact dermatitis, in which case prescriptions are needed. i have really mild eczema and i get it in little patches like the one by my nose. don't peel it, the skin will get more raw and that hurts a lot. does he have dry skin in his eyebrows or scalp? b/c it's a good possibility that it's eczema or psoriasis. it's not urgent but it's very annoying and painful. best thing see a doc. eucerin lotion is amazing i've also seen results from Vaseline Intensive Care Moisturizing Lotion. it absorbs quickly and isn't greasy or scented, and it's a lot cheaper than eucerin(about $6 compared to about $2). cetaphil soap works great too. no scents/dyes, specially made for sensitive skin
10. try eucerin facial moisturizer
