Have you ever taken a long flight and your nose gets uncomfortably dry.  I won’t get into the disgusting details and side effects, but let’s just say the dryness makes you wish you could pick the heck out of something.

Recently my sweet friend Eleanor told me she’d been using Ayr this winter to help moisturize her nasal passages.  She raved over it. She even thinks it’s helped her stave off colds all winter long. When she told me about Ayr, I immediately thought it might be something that would help me when I fly to Hawaii.

So, what is Ayr? It’s a saline nasal gel with aloe vera that “moisturizes and sooths dry, stuffy noses.”  It comes in a tube or in individually wrapped gel swabs. I found this Ayr at Wal-Mart and it cost less than $4 for a tube. I couldn’t find the swabs in my local store, but they would be much more convenient for travel.

I put Ayr to the test yesterday as I spent about 13 hours in total flying yesterday. I applied it before I boarded my first flight and then again about nine hours later.  I think it really helped keep my nasal passages moisturized.  If you suffer from a dry nose when you travel, I’d recommend you give Ayr a try.
