Use Humidifiers and Apply Thicker Moisturizers

Description

Replenishing moisture in the air and applying appropriate creams seals hydration into the skin.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Humidify: Run humidifiers in bedrooms and main living areas to increase indoor air moisture levels (aim for 30-50% humidity).
2. Moisturize: Switch to a thicker, creamier moisturizer (often labeled 'cream' or 'ointment') instead of lighter lotions. Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, shea butter, or petrolatum.
3. Apply Damp: Apply moisturizer generously all over the body immediately after showering or bathing, while skin is still slightly damp, to lock in moisture.
4. Reapply: Reapply moisturizer to hands and exposed areas throughout the day as needed.
