What most people want when they consider getting a facelift isn't the chance to undergo surgery with the possibility of complications, resulting scars, and weeks (if not months) of recuperation. What they really want is to look younger.

Fortunately there's an easier non-surgical alternative.

Did you know humidity is one of your skin's best friends? In fact, it's an essential for healthy younger-looking skin.

So, when was the last time you checked the relative humidity in your home to make sure it's adequate for quenching the thirst of your body's largest organ -- your skin?

This is especially important during winter when household air is warm and dry due to heating. To find out more, chat with an Air Quality Expert.

According to the EPA and other indoor environmental experts, the relative humidity inside your home should fall between 30 and 50 percent, depending on the temperature outside. More specifically, when the outside temperature is 20°F or above, the recommended relative humidity inside is 35 to 40 percent. Make an appointment for a FREE Home Humidity Test.

Why are proper levels of humidity so important to your skin and general good health?

Low humidity causes dry skin, dry hair, itching, cracking and chapping. When skin becomes dry and irritated, eczema can flare. Mucous membranes in your nose and throat dry out, increasing discomfort and susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness. With low humidity levels, body moisture evaporates so quickly that you feel chilled even at higher thermostat settings. Dry skin can look tight, dull and flaky...making you look older than you are.

Adding a "whole house" humidifier to your home's heating system can remedy these problems and help your skin look younger, healthier and more supple...without a facelift. Learn more...
