Bicycling Wind Burn

I bike to work, I resumed in the middle of March.  I have had problems with my nose being sunburned so  wear a baseball cap under my helmet.  It keeps the sun off my beak.
So when I seemed to have the symptoms of sunburn, I was perplexed.  I was getting a scabbed up nose.
But then I thought about my ride, its been quite windy in March and April, and I was getting windburn.  A friend told me to try using vaseline before I ride, on my nose.  It worked.  Though I still have a windburned face, my nose has stopped blistering.
