A dehumidifier is an electronic device used to remove excess moisture from the air. It acts like a sponge, constantly sucking in moist air, removing the water vapor, and releasing the drier air back into the room.
This can be helpful in various situations, especially for those struggling with dry skin and hair.
But how exactly does a dehumidifier affect indoor air moisture? Let’s understand –
Moisture is naturally present in air and can be measured as relative humidity. This intensity varies depending on a variety of things, including the weather, the season, and even household activities.
High humidity (usually greater than 60%) might result in a stuffy, mold-prone atmosphere which can cause asthma and respiratory issues. Low humidity (less than 30%) can remove moisture from your skin and hair, leaving them dry and irritable.
A dehumidifier removes excess moisture and raises relative humidity to more pleasant and healthy levels, usually between 40% and 50%. As, a result people live in a comfortable indoor environment which leads to healthy moisture skin and hair.
