All winter long, my skin looks like alligator skin.
I look at my arms and they are almost as wrinkled as my 90-year old grandmother’s skin.
I know I need a humidifier in my house, but I keep forgetting until it is too late. I bought a portable humidifier, but it wasn’t enough to make a change. I’m afraid if I keep forgetting about humidification in the winter, I’ll not get rid of the wrinkles, and I’ll look sixty when I’m still in my thirtie My mom told me I could get a humidifier that goes into the furnace, if I keep forgetting to install the portable one. She said I could also put pans of water inside the air vents, but I’m afraid I’d forget that more than I do the humidifier. She then jokingly told me to cook more pasta during the winter. I knew she was joking because she knows I don’t like pasta. I am finding now that not only is my skin getting leathery in the winter, but it is the same in the summer. I am an avid swimmer, and I guess I thought the water would help hydrate my skin, even if I am in the sun. I was wrong. I lived in a dry area, and I needed a humidifier in the air conditioner as much as I needed it in the furnace. When I called the HVAC company, they told me I should have a humidifier in my air conditioner. The technician came out to look at the air conditioner. There was no humidifier in my air conditioner. I had to buy a new air conditioner. The good news is that this one was already old when I bought the house.
