For several years, I had accepted that cold winter months meant that my skin would become dry, and flaky and itchy, every winter, I have been burdened with the same dry patches of skin that itch until I have broken out in rashes all over my body.
I have seen a dermatologist who prescribed me ointments, I’ve tried over-the-counter medications, and even gone to my neighbor who sells essential oils to try to find a holistic cure for my chronically dry skin, however, every winter, the irritation and rashes return, and I had just begun to accept it.
It wasn’t until I talked to my Heating and A/C business about installing a humidifier in my home. She explained that my gas furnace was drying out the air in my home, and in turn, drying out my skin, however after a quick estimate, I was able to order a humidifier that would work in line with my existing Heating and A/C system! Once the necessary parts came in, the Heating and A/C serviceman was able to swiftly install the humidifier in conjunction with my existing Heating and A/C system, however the installation was very quick, and there were no visible fluctuations someplace, but the greatest change I noticed was that the next afternoon, I woke up with completely hydrated skin, and all of the dry spots and rashes had completely disappeared. After a lifetime of dealing with dry, itchy skin in the winter, I have found immense relief by simply calling my Heating and A/C provider and having a humidifier installed. The humidifier also helps the efficiency of my gas furnace, by helping to maintain the ambient temperature in my home, alleviating the stress on my gas furnace and in turn, lowering my energy bill, and the cost of ointments for my skin.
