• Apply lip balm regularly to avoid chapped lips of kids. Ask the kids not to lick their lips, as it will make the skin drier.

• Generally, kids pick and rub their nostrils because the skin inside is dry. Moisturize the skin inside the nose in order to avoid a blood nose. I apply Vaseline petroleum jelly in the nostrils and then squeeze the nose gently so that the jelly spreads evenly.
