air con can dry skin? wtf? Laughing

Yes it's if the aircon temp is too low, ask your admin to put a request for 21-22 degree. Below that bring more problems. Dry skin n dry nose is most coomon one.

Agreed that aircon will dry u up, in term of skin, i use moisturise cream on my body and in term of health, get a steam condenser in your office to enchance the eater vapour in the air.

...that is a symptom of stress and not due to the effects of the air-con... why? your work very stressful?

Just wondering if putting a pail of water in front of the aircon, will it help preventing skin from drying up?
