Been havin' sleepless nights lately, possibly all due to: inevitable dry skin, weather conditions, and dry apartment!

Anyone else having problems with their sensitive skin? If so, do you have a humidifier? Has it helped at all? What was the brand name? I live in a studio (small, like many others) apartment and considering on buying a humidifier within my budget, W30,000 or less. I know I'm a cheapskate, but it's my small, humble abode.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

buy a humidifer for sure. I have it on anytime that I am at home. There is a thread around (recently) that has a lot of cures for itchy skin. I think its called "itchy skin". Check it out.
We payed about 30 for our humidifer.

I just bumped up a recent thread that compares different types of humidifiers.

Thanks a lot Kat-What model do you have (brand name)?

No idea. it was the cheapest one and is neon pink. Beauiful. It puts out cold steam.

Two styles:

Cold mist and heat/evaporation.

If you live in Bundang, or another place with really hard water, you'll find the cold mist ones REALLY put out dust that accumulates on everything. The cold mist ones usually work better, though. I fill mine with water from the water machine at work.

You can buy one which looks like a frog for 15,000 to 20,000 won at many small area stores, or online.

I have that one, and like it a lot.

I have my humidifier on 24/7. I finally learned to put it on "low" so I no longer wake up in a wet bed.
