Suffering from Dry Air In Your Home? Try These Tips.
Posted in Your Health on 23. Nov, 2009
Every winter, my husband and I start to notice our poor cracked knuckles and chapped lips. It seems like we can’t turn on the heat even once without feeling it on our skin… so we start considering a humidifier. Last year, we purchased two small ones. They helped, but not quite enough. This year, we decided to go with one large one and keep it running 24 hours a day in our upstairs hallway. It seems to be helping, though I still need to keep putting lotion on my dry hands.
Nature Moms Blog had a great post recently on natural ways to add humidity to your home. These tips are so simple and make so much sense! One that I like in particular –
“When you finish your shower (or during your shower if you don’t mind the lack of privacy or the chill), open the bathroom door and don’t run the bathroom fan. After drying off, hang your wet towel up in another room to dry.”
So here I am, running the fan with the door closed… while all along I could have been letting the moisture spread all over my upstairs. I didn’t even think of that one. Thanks, Nature Moms!
