[Try This] Mariah Carey's Bed Time Beauty Secret.
I was on SnapChat the other day living vicariously through bloggers traveling for New York Fashion Week. Â This blogger happened to share several pics of her travel essentials. Â One image in particular immediately caught my attention. Â Sitting near her bedside was a gadget that looked very familiar.
But what was most interesting was the caption included with the image.
This young lady is so dedicated to maintaining hydrated skin that she packed a humidifier and traveled with it cross country. Â The reason for doing so is because she once learned that Mariah Carey was diligent about sleeping with a humidifier on a nightly basis.
That was my assumption.
In order to verify if this was indeed the case, I performed a quick Google search for verification. Â To my surprise, I learned that Mariah doesn't just sleep with a humidifier, she runs "like 15 of them!" Basically, she sleeps in her own personal steam room. Part of the reason for this strict humidifying ritual is to nurture her vocal chords. Â But we all know that sleeping in a humid environment also promotes a myriad of beauty benefits.
I've talked about the wonders of humidifiers before. Since then, I've amassed a small collection (4 in total). Â But lately, they haven't been getting much use. The air isn't as cold and dry as it used to be.
After capturing the screenshot, I immediately dusted off my old trusty humidifier. Â Within seconds, I noticed the difference. Â Even though the humidity in the room was already at 52%, the humidifier made a positive impact.
*side note: I grabbed a humidity monitor last year to keep track of air moisture levels at all times.
Minutes after being in my newly humid room, my lips felt softer and I instinctively started taking deeper breaths. It just made the room so comfortable.  Then I wondered, "does it make sense to run the humidifier all year long?" Â
The answer is a resounding YES! Â Here's why.......our A.C. units draw moisture directly out of the air as it cools the home. Â So we might be experiencing dry summer air without suspecting it. Â Also, when we're out in the sun our hair & skin dries out. Â If you jump in the pool, you could be creating dry, itchy skin. Â A humidifier could save your skin this summer.
I'm completely committed to using my humidifier all year long (even when I travel 'cause hotel rooms are the worst). Â I'm also intrigued by the idea of using multiple units at night for maximum moisturization. Â I can imagine how hydrated the skin would feel in the morning if we went to bed greasy and slept with a humidifier by our bedside.
