Can I put coconut oil in my dry nose?
You can safely use vitamin E oil, sesame seed oil, olive oil, or coconut oil in your nose. Not only will these oils help prevent dry nose, they will help to improve any irritation that you have from previous dry nose issues. But many popular products used to treat cold symptoms, such as Vicks VapoRub, also contain petroleum jelly.
