What’s more, humidifiers have long been popular with singers and performers to help soothe their throats at night ­– Mariah Carey reportedly sleeps with several angled towards her bed. Of course, as Dr Dhillon cautioned, you don’t want to overdo it, as too much stagnant humidity isn’t good for the skin either, but a humidifier might be a good desk-side companion if you do work in a stuffy office. Personally, I find a warm flannel, held against my face with my morning and evening cleanse, then gently massaged over my skin to remove any dry skin really makes a difference – facialist Kate Kerr taught me this trick. Then, I layer on my hyaluronic acid and add ceramides and peptides to support my skin barrier further. I also really hate coughing, so maybe I should invest in a humidifier for that reason, too!Good luck,
