Is anyone else suffering from peeling skin on their nose?

I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have tried both exfoliating AND intense moisturising. It is just on my nose. My house is not overly centrally heated ( sat wearing jumper and wooly socks) so I don't think that is it. Any ideas or solutions.

Yes- just getting over a cold very runny nose.
Tried exfoliating -think that made it worse.
Just spent 30 minutes picking bits of dry skin off with my tweezers- now very satisfied.....but nose red.

Neither helps - avoid exfoliating, it only leads to more peeling.

My peeling skin is induced by the generally more dry and windy winter (central heating does not help). What really helps is Eucerin 5% urea cream - you will see a difference overnight.

Also check that you are not using an overly dehydrating foundation. Powder and longwearing liquid foundation exacerbate peeling ime.

I have to do all that and use the balsam tissues (Kleenex? in a green and yellow box and expensive) to keep my nose from peeling. It works for the most part (ish...). I keep meaning to try something like the 8 hour cream on it, mainly because I have some that I don't use for anything else.

Use a rich face cream during the day and vaseline at bedtime.

I get dry flaky/peeling skin on each side of my nose... my doc gave me antifungal cream for it

I get this, I use exfoliating gloves at night then vasaline to hold it at bay, with nivea in the mornings. Doesn't work amazinly though so need ideas!

I've got the Decleor Neroli Night Balm and it cleared my nose up in a couple of nights. It is expensive but my skin looks great and the smell is divine. A little goes a long way so it's probably not that expensive per use.

I found it discounted so worth searching around.
