Default FACE ITCHES!!!! Any recomendations?

I did searches all over and couldn't find anything on this so maybe it's just me?? I am putting this here in the touring section cause it is home to me here, so to speak. Anyways it never fails, if I am not wearing my FF the area around my nose itches like crazy. I have tried lots of stuff from different sun screens, clean shaven, short gotee (sp?), lotion, nothing at all and sure ****, after about an hour and a half with my half helmet on, it starts and feels like I have hair or something in or around my nose that drives me CRAZY!!!! Anything anyone has for an idea, or suggestion is appreciated. We are going to be gone most of the holiday weekend, but I will try to check in now and then. Everyone have a great long weekend and stay safe out there!!!

I soak my face in Maiden Oil often, it doesn't help with the itch, but thinking about it distracts me from it. I actually ususally start feeling that after 300 or more miles, feels like you snorted a dandylion seed and half of it is hanging out of your nose and"Tickling" your nostril? I just try to ignore it and it eventuall stops.

****! I thought it was only me so never asked. It's mainly the outside of my nose. Got to keep itching it. Tried a bandana but believe it or not, that makes it worse. Use lots of sunscreen ... no way.

Grow a long goatee, and braid it , then let it slap you in the face for a few thousand miles, you will get over it for sure. don't ask me how I know.

The only thing that causes a little face itch when I'm riding is my goatee blowing up. Other than that...dunno..
