My skin looks so much better since I put this on my bedside table

I’ll never be without it now

Like many people, I suffer with dry skin on my face. It’s annoying, at best, and it means when I wear makeup it doesn’t go on properly and my face looks noticeably textured.

To make matters worse, my skin is also really sensitive, so it’s not just a simple matter of applying moisturizers. Many of these make my skin red, or conversely even drier. So when I heard about people finding success with a humidifier, I was keen to give one a go.

You see, dry air sucks the moisture out of your skin. This is made even worse during cooler periods, when the central heating is on. I tried out the Meaco Armin Evaporative Humidifier, which is said to “prevent sore throats, dry skin, and congestion”.

It’s also quiet, a necessity for someone like me who is utterly useless without a full night’s sleep. It’s easy to use, too, you simply put some water in and press a button – an easy ritual I now find myself doing every night.

Within weeks I noticed my skin was improving, something I feel is close to miraculous. My makeup goes on so much better and my hands seem less dry, too.

And it’s not just me who has benefited. When my son had a cold I popped it in his room and it seemed to help his blocked nose at night.

Humidifiers work by helping to restore moisture levels in the air, which can do wonders for your skin. There are many options on the market, but this one suits me as it is compact and doesn’t go with any of my bedroom decor.

It’s also energy efficient and, as I said earlier, very quiet. I’m not the only fan of the device, as the Meaco Armin Evaporative Humidifier has an average rating of 4.25 out of five stars on the Meaco website.

One happy customer wrote: “Like this very much. I searched long and hard for the right humidifier. I was tempted by the cheaper evaporative humidifiers but there was always some problem. Eg difficulty in finding filters or having to use distilled water.

“This one seems very good. You can use tap water. You can change the filters’ orientation and so they last a long time. It’s quiet. Large enough to last 2 or 3 nights but not too large. Hydrostat to regulate the humidity. Recommend.”

A second said: “Great machine, very quiet in use, humidity settings seem quite accurate.” And a third said: “Just fantastic.”
