I use a medicated (menthol) chapstick around my nose before I put the nasal pillows on. I find the very slight menthol helps clear my breathing, and the lube prevents skin breakdown. I tried several other types of skin lubricants, but they tended to be absorbed too fast to do any good. And if I do get a slight irritation, it is usually gone by morning.
