Seasonal health and home maintenance tips for autumn

As autumn approaches, experts highlight necessary adjustments for both personal health and home maintenance due to changing environmental conditions.

Regarding skincare, dermatologists recommend transitioning from light summer moisturizers to richer, more nourishing creams. Lower humidity and indoor heating can lead to skin dryness and irritation. Key recommendations include using products containing ceramides to support the skin's protective barrier, applying body lotion immediately after bathing to lock in moisture, and exercising caution with exfoliation to avoid damaging the skin barrier.

In the home, drying laundry indoors can significantly increase humidity levels, potentially leading to mold growth and condensation. An average wash cycle can release approximately 2 liters of water into the air. To mitigate risks such as mold in cold corners or near windows, experts suggest ventilating the room for 10–15 minutes after drying clothes, ensuring air circulation behind furniture, and monitoring humidity levels with a hygrometer.
