Keeping your skin moisturized is essential to managing eczema symptoms, notes the National Eczema Association. With the disease, the skin barrier is already compromised and irritated, losing moisture in the process, says Seemal R. Desai, MD, a dermatologist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. If the air in your home or office is dry, that increases how cracked and dry your skin is, making it more susceptible to bacteria and other irritants. “I recommend a humidifier,” says Desai.
The Dyson AM10 Humidifier is one option. This model has received the Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly seal from the Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Products with the seal are scientifically tested to meet strict standards for improving the air quality and health within a home, according to the certification program description. Certified humidifiers, in particular, are evaluated for their ability to maintain appropriate humidity levels, sanitize the water they use, and reduce preexisting contamination within a room.
With that in mind, know that the Dyson AM10 Humidifier is designed to do more than simply hydrate the air around it. The manufacturers say it also kills 99.9 percent of bacteria in its water tank by exposing each drop of water to a UVC light. And so that the air doesn’t become too misty, the device also measures temperature and humidity and adjusts accordingly to create a comfortable environment.
