3 Reasons Why Owning A Humidifier Is Important To Your Beauty Regimen
Mother Nature and I have a weird relationship. I’m a girl who LOVES seasons. Like, my spirit depends on it. I get all rude and cranky when I am either too cold or too hot or I’ve been too cold or too hot for too long! I’m an East Coaster true and through. I love the spring breeze that brings the cherry blossoms just as much as I love the hot summer nights us New Yorkers spend rooftopin’ our summers away with.
But as I get older the air that Mother Nature provides is killing me softly. We can all blame technology for our lack of clean air. But because the Internet and public transportation are now must-haves we shall overcome. Honestly, New York might be the dirtiest place on Earth (I still stan for her though)! With winter happening like tomorrow, the weather will get colder and the air will get drier. The combination of that air, your thermostat turned to “on fleek” and your windows locked and sealed to hide from the hawk outside, it could be affecting your beauty routine. You might want to consider purchasing a humidifier (I’ve got mine).
I’ll tell you that my humidifier changed my life. How did I not know I couldn’t breathe? How did I not know my gorgeous brown skin could be even more flawless and glowing?
So what does a humidifier actually do?
There’s quite a few different humidifiers available (I’ll let you have a date with Google for that) but at the most basic level, the device emits water vapor into a space to increase the level of humidity. When used correctly, humidifiers can help to ease dry skin, chapped lips, nose bleeds and other pesky cold-weather conditions. It can even help to reduce some snoring! (Let’s pray for my BAE and hope this works.)
Now you know exactly how it works. Here’s how it can help our skin!
1. Glowing Skin
Dry air can cause your skin to flake and look…well, less than perfect. Your friends will continue to ask you if your tired and naps might be induced because of it. But when your skin is properly moisturized, (WOW) it looks radiant and glowing. Run a humidifier throughout the night to keep your skin tone at its best. Take it a step further and use a tinted moisturizer in the morning to combat dryness in the air.
2. Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles
When wrinkles form is nearly impossible to remove them…without surgery. So I’m all about prevention. And, the dryer your skin is the more prominent they appear. A humidifier helps fill the room with nourishing steam that can smooth out your skin and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. On top of all of this, it’s important to moisturize your skin on the regular. This will drastically improve the texture of your skin.
3. Help Prevent Breakouts
When you strip the oils in your face with a cleanser, your skin is forced to produce even more oil to compensate, which can result in a nasty breakout. Similarly, when the air dries out the sensitive skin on your face, your oil production kicks up and may cause blemishes. Keep the proper humidity levels in your home to help banish acne and ward off bothersome dry skin. You should also apply moisturizer specific to your skin type (I wrote a whole post about my faves) and use the right cleanser each day to further prevent acne.
