Heating on, face tight? Check your room before your routine
From late October, once the heating goes on, posts saying "I switched creams and I'm still dry" pile up. The common advice is to look at your environment before buying another product.
Environment checks people mention
- Humidifier: cleaning the tank matters as much as running it; a neglected humidifier can cause its own problems.
- Hygrometer: numbers often show the air is drier than it feels. Too humid is not ideal either, since condensation and mould follow, so aim for a comfortable middle.
- Airflow: keep heater or AC air from blowing at your face
- Showers: cut back on long, hot ones
What people do in the routine
- Moisturise right after cleansing
- Add a layer of cream over a light lotion
- Give lips, eye area and hands separate attention at night
If dryness leads to cracking, or itching that disturbs sleep, it may be dermatitis, so see a doctor.
