...besides stepping up my lotion? I also don't think avoiding soap on my nose is a viable option since I work out daily and sweat profusely. It's just always dry and 'liney' where my nose would normally crease when I wrinkle it. Also, when I put lotion on it, it is extra shiny--even with shine free lotion--which i believe is a product of its dryness.

Also, will moisturizing too much during the day somehow strip my skin of its natural moisture production? Is it okay to reapply every time you wash and even just rinse your face?

Thanks in advance.

Bump. I'd also like to know if anyone out there has advice for this, since I have this as well.

Someone has mentioned gentle exfoliation with a wet washcloth before moisturizing. I may have to try this.
