That's because our nasal passages are designed to warm and humidify air before it gets to the lungs. In colder temperatures, the nose overcompensates by producing extra mucus. It can thicken when exposed to the dry air outside and irritate your throat or your sinuses, those hollow cavities behind your nose and forehead. Take a deep breath (if you can): Relief is right in front of you. Get steamy. Nose and sinuses stuffed up? Step into a quick, hot shower—the steam can loosen up congestion. Rinse out your schnoz. Dry air can irritate the membranes and blood vessels inside your nose, resulting in gross and sometimes bloody (but normal) little crusties. Keep conditions moist by using a drugstore saline spray every day, or rubbing a dab of unscented, alcohol-free body lotion inside your nostrils, Benninger suggests. (Avoid petroleum-based products, which can cause nasal tissue to swell over time.
