Beauty Blog » Moisturize that Dry Fall/Winter Skin with a Humidifier - Humdify, Get it?

I’ve been noticing a strange phenomenon lately. Some mornings I wake up with moisturized, dewy skin and some mornings I wake up to dry, ashy skin. I wasn’t doing anything different with my moisturizers (I use Eucerin Coenzyme 10 Cream which I love, and then, since it’s winter, I also use Paula Begoun’s Skin Recovery Cream on top). I use retinol every other night and once in a while, I’ll take a rest from the retinol and use an alpha-hydroxy cream (Neostrata, Neutrogena Healthy Skin, DDF 10% glycolic acid). This pretty much sums up my skin-care treatment routine. So, it was odd to me, that some mornings my face looked glowing, and some mornings parched.

Why? What was I doing that was different? I had to find out.

I did various combination’s of cream, I would forgo any treatment at all and that didn’t produce consistent results. What could it be? I know that my heat has been blasting and there is almost zero moisture in the air, so that contributed to the dryness, but where was this extra moisture coming from?

I thought about it and then I got it: After my nighttime shower, I was going to bed with wet hair. It seems far-fetched, but I tested the nights I went to bed with dry hair and the nights I went to bed with wet hair. And consistently, on the nights I went to bed with wet hair, my skin looked dewier and refreshed in the morning. It must be the combination of the heat with the moisture in my hair that fed my skin. Now, before you start showering every night, there is something you can do that does not require going to be with a wet head every night.

Invest in a humidifier, darlings! If you have dry, parched skin like mine, it can do wonders for your skin. I wasn’t a believer before but I am now. Try it, you’ll see…
