Air conditioners are the people’s solution for the constant rise of temperature over the recent years. Most homes nowadays now have an air conditioning unit, which gives them cool temperature even in the hottest of days. However, only a few people realize that being exposed to an air conditioned environment 24/7 can actually cause more harm than good.
You may think that walking into a room with a cool temperature is a big relief since you no longer have to suffer from the scorching sun. What most people don’t know is that air conditioners can bring harm to your body most especially to your skin.
Even though an air conditioned environment has a cool temperature, the air is considerably dry. Air conditioners will suck all the moisture inside a room and if you stay in that room, the moisture from your skin will also be sucked in. This causes the skin to be dry especially if you stay in an air conditioned room for several hours. And when the skin becomes dry, it will eventually become itchy. It’s even worse for those people who have naturally dry skin because their skin will become flaky once they stay in an air conditioned room for several hours.
Air conditioners will suck all the moisture from the indoor air and if it no longer gets moisture from the indoor air, it will eventually suck the moisture from your skin. And if you are constantly exposed to an air conditioned environment, your skin will eventually become dry, flaky and itchy. If your skin has run out of moisture, it will no longer be elastic. The skin will even become more prone to creases and wrinkles. Air conditioners can help in developing wrinkles over your body which is bad news since nobody would want to look old than their actual age just because of the number of wrinkles they have in their skin.
Stepping out into the heat of the sun from an air conditioned room or car so suddenly and walking into an air conditioned room while you just walk under the heat of the sun is not a good thing to do. This is very taxing to the body and may lead to other problems as well like headaches and flu.
As good as they maybe but air conditioning units can also bring harmful effects to your body. So you have to make sure that you stay in air conditioned areas all the time. Your home’s air conditioning unit should only be used during hot days. You also have to make sure that you limit the number of hours you are staying in an air-conditioned room. Not only that you can protect yourself from the harmful effects of an air conditioner, you also get to reduce your utility bills since you no longer have to use your air conditioning unit that much.
