Ensuring comfort in the wintertime demands more than just a warm coat, gloves and a hat. In order to keep cozy, we have to be conscious of one of the most ignored aspects of cooler weather: dry air.

All these possible problems can be counteracted with the use of a humidifier.

Why does the air dry out? What can you do about it?

When temperatures drop, the composition and formation of the air itself modifies. The chilly air has less moisture than warm air, which is why lips and skin can get chapped and dry much more often in the winter.
