Other alternatives are baby bum creams - not Sudafed as it's a bit stringent but my two used to get nasty faces when pushed around in strollers in winter when teething (they would dribble a lot and got chapped faces as a result - bit like their mother nowadays!) and they also used to get really nasty nappy rash too. Pharmacist chap in Boots recommended Morhulin (not sure if it's still available) by I think, Seton healthcare - v thick cream, creates barrier when on skin, looks all thick and white when goes on, but does disappear into skin, so you won't look a prat if you use it. Contains ? castor oil, not particularly sweet smelling, but does the business.
If you don't fancy that part brand, then just have a shufty at the nappy rash creams in Boots etc, they are brilliant for protection v wind (of all sorts!
)
Know some people swear by Vaseline, personally, I swear at it, can't stand the smell, but it is good and again, cheap - so perhaps another alternative. And you can get it in tiny, flat, pocket-sized tins that you could take out with you. You could also look at ski products, tho they tend to be sun-screen as well, but they are v protective and when skiing, conditions can be really hard on face.
