Wrapping a scalf around you nose and chin can prevent your nasal cavities drying. ‘Cold air slows the flow of mucus that traps viruses and inhibits the white cells that fight them,’ says Professor Ron Eccles, director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University. CURE IT. . . For a drug-free option, try a saline spray such as Weleda Rhinodoron, which helps clear out and moisture your nasal passages.
