To combat dry skin and lips, as well as dehydration caused by air conditioning, there are a few simple steps you can take. Firstly, using a humidifier in the room can help add moisture to the air. Secondly, drinking plenty of water is crucial for staying hydrated. Applying moisturizer to your skin can also help prevent dryness. Lastly, limiting the time spent in air-conditioned environments can reduce its impact on your skin and lips. It’s also important to maintain good indoor air quality for overall skin health.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Nhu Vinh, Head of the Department of Respiratory Function Testing at Ho Chi Minh University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the dry air produced by air conditioning can lead to dehydration and dry skin and lips. To minimize these effects, it’s important to set the right temperature in the room, keep it well ventilated and clean the air filter regularly to prevent bacteria and virus spread. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and avoiding direct exposure to cold air is recommended. Adjusting lighting in the room can also help reduce heat caused by air conditioners. If you have any health problems related to using air conditioners, consult with a doctor for proper advice and treatment.
