I live in a climate where we have the furnace on all winter & it gets extremely dry indoors, causing nose bleeds. We run a humidifer, that helped to reduce nosebleeds. I drink alot of water, and I think it does help keep my sinus passages & throat from drying out. Another big help for dry skin was taking 1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil everyday. I don't know if this was the info you were looking for, but I hope it helps.
