Recently moved into a new house - wife and I both experiencing
problems with dry skin for first time in our lives! We think it's
caused by a very dry atmosphere in the house. Obvious steps like
keeping lots of windows open aren't having any immediate effect,
although we've only been there for a week.

Anyone out there have similar problems with a dry atmosphere?

I know that previous owners used to run a dehumidifier regularly - I'm
speculating whether this can in some way dry out the fabric of the
house to the extent that it takes a while to get back to normal.

Cheers
