How the Dyson Humidifier Saved My Dry Skin

With colder weather upon us, I heavily rely on a core group of skin products. For instance, my daily moisturizer—The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream is my go-to daily face cream that leaves my skin feeling super soft. I religiously apply Tula Revitalizing Eye Cream in the morning and at night to prevent dark circles. I always keep a lip balm near me at all times (on my nightstand, Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Overnight Balm and in my handbag, Glossier Balm Dotcom). Once or twice a week, I treat myself to a facial sheet mask. Lately I’ve been in to Korean and Japanese skin treatments—like Hada Labo Tokyo Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial Mask (it’s drenched in a full bottle of serum to boost hydration and restore firmness). Needless to say, I have quite the arsenal to combat dry skin.

What I’ve recently discovered though is hydrated skin doesn’t just come from trusty beauty products. I’ve been maintaining a healthy complexion thanks to one more product that conveniently keeps my skin in check. Welcome to my living space: the Dyson humidifier.

In case you’re not familiar about the health benefits of a humidifier, let me fill you in. Humidifiers help your skin retain its natural moisture and are extremely helpful in the winter months. A humid environment can help soothe skin dryness and any resulting itchiness, to keep it glowing even in arid climates.

Wedding planning is no longer on my to-do list so I can finally get back to blogging and testing new beauty products, which means I spend most of my evenings and weekends at my desk in my dining room turned home office. The Dyson Humidifier has seamlessly become a part of my daily lifestyle. It fits in perfectly thanks to its chic design that blends in with the room without looking bulky or obscure. It also comes with a small remote, which doubles as a magnet on top of the device so you minimize the risk of losing it, so I can control airflow settings from a distance. As you can see, my little kitty loves it too.

The Dyson Humidifier has not only kept winter colds at bay but has also been a must-have for maintaining hydrated skin. Before my husband and I go to bed, we move the humidifier in to our bedroom so we can breathe easier and soak up all the skin care benefits while we sleep (did I mention, we can barely hear it?). It’s rare for me these days to not reach for a hand cream 24/7 because I usually deal with dry, cracked hands but this humidifier has saved me from dry, itchy skin. This system works to support hydrated skin all year round, even doubling as a fan to keep cool in the warmer months.
