I blow my nose a lot when I get an upper respiratory infection and my nose gets so raw it makes me want to cry. I used to just use whatever lip balm I had but most of the time it’s not thick enough. Lanolin or Vaseline is much thicker.

Edit: I also use Lanolin for homemade chapstick. Most of them out there are to thin for me and it’s nice being able to make it whatever consistency you want. Lots of recipes out there but I do Lanolin, beeswax, Vaseline, coconut oil and honey. You can add essential oil too.
