Humidity should be 30-45% in cold weather and 30-60% in hot weather. Dry air can cause drying of the skin, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. This leads to increased sensitivity to allergens, irritation, and even nosebleeds.
Additionally, dry air can aggravate skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis. The expert recommended using humidifiers, plants and wet cleaning to maintain adequate humidity during the heating season.
“Very low humidity can lead to dryness, irritation and damage to the skin, respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Violation of the integrity of the skin barrier and mucous membrane can increase sensitivity to allergens and trigger a specific inflammatory response. In some cases, nasal dryness can even cause nose bleeding. “Normalizing the humidity of the air and using moisturizing drops can prevent nosebleeds,” the expert said.
