Dry air in your American Fork home can wreak havoc on your skin and hair. A whole-house humidifier can benefit them in these nine noticeable and helpful ways.
1. Adding Moisture to the Air
The primary way that a whole-house humidifier benefits your skin and hair involves adding moisture to your home’s air. Factors like cold winter weather, drafts in your home’s ductwork and around your windows and doors, and extreme indoor heat can also contribute to the dry air in your home. You can effectively combat them and improve the condition of your skin and hair by installing and running one of these humidifiers.
2. Reducing Hair Breakage
Dry air in your home can cause your hair to break. When you comb your hair, you might notice large strands of it breaking, resulting in split ends and hair damage.
Adding moisture to the air can reduce hair breakage. You can brush your hair without worrying about how much you will pull out and how damaged your hair will look.
3. Preventing Dry Skin
Dry skin not only feels tight and uncomfortable, but it can also flake and look unappealing. You may develop noticeably large, red flaky patches of skin on your face, hands, and other parts of your body.
Relieving your dry skin and eliminating these patches can require you to add more humidity to the air in your home. You can add more moisture and minimize or eliminate dry skin flare-ups by running a whole-house humidifier.
4. Relieving Dandruff
You may not only develop patches of dry skin on your face and hands but also suffer from dry skin on your scalp because of the arid air in your home.
Dry scalp results in flaky and noticeable dandruff. You may feel embarrassed about the way your hair looks, or you may rely on dandruff shampoo without understanding its cause.
5. Eliminating Rashes and Itching
Dry skin anywhere on your body can cause intense itchiness. You might find yourself scratching incessantly because of the dryness of your skin.
You may also develop painful and noticeable hives and rashes. Higher humidity levels typically help remedy these conditions.
6. Reducing Static Electricity
Static electricity causes your hair to look frizzy. It also creates a spark whenever you touch something or someone.
It demonstrates how dry your home’s air is and the need for you to use a whole-house humidifier. The moisture from this device can cut down on static electricity, making it easier to brush your hair and eliminating painful static shocks.
7. Saving Money on Skin and Hair Products
A whole-house humidifier can save you money on skin and hair care products. You might have to use products like baby oil and lotion to relieve dry skin. You may also have to use hair spray, hair gel, or conditioners to make your hair easier to manage.
These products might strain your budget when you have to keep buying them repeatedly. You might have less need for them after you start using a whole-house humidifier.
8. Saving on Water Use
Water can relieve the discomfort and hassle of dry skin and hair. When your home has dry indoor air, it can result in you finding relief from itchy skin and staticky hair in frequent baths or showers.
The frequency of bathing or showering can increase your home’s water bill. Increasing the humidity in your home can lower your water bill and water use.
