Dry Skin especially on the face.
hi everyone 👋 if you are a oxygen user and have are using a nasal cannula, what face cream do you recommend that’s safe to use with oxygen? My skin is so dry it’s now itchy. Most of the creams I have found contain petroleum which of course can burn, so I’m at a loss
Any help is appreciated Thank you x
Hi, I use cerave cream but I hadn't thought about whether it's got paraffin in it ! I stopped using vaseline on my lips but hadn't given face cream a thought. Any ideas on lip balm?
Hi BusterMovers, I use a vegan organic moisturiser by Garnier … Organic Lavendin Day Cream. Completely safe with oxygen and smells lovely.
thank you x
I use Cyclax for dry facial skin which is Aloe Vera based and KY Gel for nostrils.
thank you x
I use faith in nature products. I also use Aveeno but I have to check the ingredients list as some aren’t safe. As for lip balms I use Burts Bees products.
thank you yes I use the bee lip balm x
I use Nivea Q10 day moisturiser and the night one.
Hi Bustmovers, I have found a face cream by a company called “ it”, I use all their makeup products because they are all water based, as with most things today it comes with a price tag but well worth it, available from Boots, apparently QVC occasionally sell it too for less but I have never used them so unsure of that, good luck, hope you find one that suits you, I personally love this brand 😊💐🌷xx
thank you so much, sadly everything good comes with a high price tag. Have a lovely day x
I use Aloe Vera which I got from Amazon
I don't use face creams but suffer from very dry skin on my body, arms and legs and I found a reasonably priced Aloe Vera cream which is safe to use with oxygen. It is sometimes difficult because the information on most toiletries is in such tiny print it is nigh impossible to read.
thank you x
A few years ago I had the same problem due to the air con at work. A pharmacist recommended the old fashioned Nivea, the one in the blue pot. Layer it on really thickly overnight. It worked. I hope you find something that helps.
You can't beat Nivea, its one of the best and one i always go back to when i have a problem x
thank you will take a look x

I use no.7 serum and don't have a problem with that . Regards Babs

I use Weleda. They have a light moisturiser for the face and a fantastic lip moisturiser as well. Love their range which isn’t cheap but so worth it and safe using a cannula.
thank you will take a look x

hi there, Weleda make an excellent moisturiser called Skin Food with all natural ingredients. It might be a bit thick for daytime but is great at night. Hope this helps.
