If it was not for central heating I am not sure what on earth I would do.
I have a problem with my skin in the Winter time when it gets certainly cold… My skin happens to dry out & crack.
And with central heating, this helps this not happen as much. When I am outside going to labor or having to run errands, I am without central heating so I have no choice however to deal with the dry freezing weather… But when i get home, that central heating system of mine certainly cleans things up! I also have a humidifier which helps a bit as well. Between the central heating system & the humidifier I can reduce the way my skin reacts to dry & freezing weather in the Winter time weeks of the year. I also occasionally use hand creams for my hands in conjunction with the central heating system & the humidifier. All of these 3 methods together helps make everything ok in the end. I have had this issue with my skin in the Winter time since I was a little kid. Back then, we had heating system heating which did not help as much as central heating does this week. The Heating, Ventilation, & A/C technology since back when has advanced so much & it is a true godsend! Like I said, I am not sure what I would do without my central heating system & my humidifier. It is pretty bizarre that when it is hot out in the summer time & dry, my hands & skin do not crack up like that. I recognize it is just the mystery of the human body!
