When you think about your skin’s health, heating and air conditioning is not going to be the first thing to come to mind. However, your HVAC actually plays a pretty big role when it comes to dry skin. The following tips will help you stay comfortable this winter without that dry itchy feeling.

Don’t Take So Many Long Hot Showers

Everyone obviously loves a hot shower? They may feel great in the winter, however the steam and heat from a hot shower can dry your skin out a great deal, which makes it much worse when the heater in your home does its part afterward. Cutting down on the length of hot showers, or going with warm water instead, can help you stay moisturized.

Keep Hot Air In and Cold Air Out

Sealing up your home against leaks will keep the dry wintry air outside from coming into your home. Not only will this help your skin stay moisturized, but it will also help you save on energy costs! You could even tweak the thermostat settings to a cooler temperature since you’d be keeping more of your heated air indoors.

Utilize A Humidifier

Using a humidifier, especially when you sleep, is a great way to stay comfortable during the winter months. It adds moisture to the air you heat, and also helps your indoor temperature feel more pleasant — allowing you to cut back on heating costs, since cooler air won’t feel quite as cold.
