Relief for chronic dry sinuses?

Does anyone here have any suggestions for relieving chronic dry sinuses? The air where I work is so dry my nasal passages routinely crack and bleed from it. This is painful. My nose doesn't seem to make enough mucus to protect my sinus linings. I am not allowed to have a humidifier at work, BTW.

    There are nasal moisterizers now that you can get from medical supply stores. It's a small tube of cream that won't block the nasal passages. It's usually given to patients on bi-pap breathing machines. Works great!

    get a small cold air mist humidifier for you desk and you bed room.

    cold air does not harbor bacteria and is very soothing for the sinus.

    you can use salina which is made from sea water.squirt it up each nostril several times a day as needed.you can also put Vaseline on a Q-tip and put a little of that up each nostril to keep it moist.all of this has worked for me.
