Therefore: ventilate regularly! Open all windows for five to ten minutes two to three times a day. The rooms are fresh again without losing too much temperature. The profit is on your side: Better air to breathe for you and your skin and possibly also for your nose.).

Make sure that the humidity in your rooms is 40 to 60 percent, as experts recommend. You can help with simple means: A bowl of water on the heater or, if you have a green thumb, a few indoor plants will make your skin feel good again.t.
