New Delhi, Nov. 17 -- Winter naturally reduces moisture in the air, and indoor heating makes the environment even drier. As windows remain closed and ventilation decreases, rooms lose moisture faster than usual. This creates an atmosphere that feels harsh on the skin, uncomfortable to breathe in, and tiring to live with throughout the season. Balanced humidity becomes essential because winter dryness affects both health and the condition of the home. Skin loses moisture quickly, becoming rough and sensitive. Hands crack easily, lips become chapped, and even hair reacts by turning brittle. Many people apply lotions more often during winter because the environment continuously draws moisture out of the body.

Breathing comfort also declines...
