Seems like everyone I know has been or is sick right now with runny noses. I myself had a cold last week and after a couple of days of a runny nose, it sure got raw from all the wiping! I wondered if anyone had a good suggestion for a lotion bar to soothe that raw skin around the nose that wouldn't cause pimples to break out. Any ideas? My nose is better now, but all the skin is peeling off and if I had used something to moisturize better, maybe the skin wouldn't have started to peel.
 
omg i need one of these right now tooo...

usually i just rub my chapstick all over my face (literally lol)...

but a nice home-made lotion bar would be aaaaaaaaaaawesome
 
most chapstick has alcohol in it, which although provides instant relief, in the long run causes more damage. It's how they get you hooked!

When you figure that out, please let us know....I love the cocoa butter too! Used it religiously while I was pregnant and truly believe it it the reason I didn't end up with any stretch marks!
