This Portable Humidifier Is the Ultimate Hack To Combat Dry Skin—And You Can Take It Everywhere You Go

It’s the middle of summer, but a lot of people are experiencing super dry skin right now, and the culprit is likely the air conditioning. That rings especially true if it’s frequently running (truly: this post-apocalyptic lava weather is no joke), or if you work indoors at an office that has a baseline temp of “arctic.” No matter how much moisturizer you slather on your face, if you don’t outsource at least some of the hydration, your skin may feel like it does in the depths of winter.

Luckily, this is why humidifiers exist. Mine have been working overtime trying to balance out the frigid, dry air, but one problem I’ve encountered is that it’s not exactly easy to lug a humidifier around if you’re going to work, are traveling, or will be spending the night elsewhere. Which is why my go-to humidifier for convenience is Hey Dewy’s portable facial humidifier.

Hey Dewy Portable Facial Humidifier

Hey Dewy is a fun-sized humidifier (it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and most work bags) that runs for ten continuous hours and is designed to quietly and efficiently emit a chill, subtle mist that’ll keep you feeling refreshed all day at work, or all night while you’re asleep. It’s powered by a USB cord, so you can simply plug it into your laptop. It’s also pretty adorable (I got the pink one, and it multitasks as decor whether it’s hanging out on my nightstand or desk).

Most importantly, it works to keep my skin hydrated all the time, no matter where I am (I’m mostly at home, but ya know, if I ever were to go anywhere else with electricity, Hey Dewy would be my number one sidekick). It’s not big enough to humidify an entire bedroom or living room space, but it’s perfect for a nightstand or desk (or even your coffee table while you work or catch up on White Lotus). I use it in conjunction with my other humidifiers, and have found that having this as an extra boost has helped with my skin and overall comfort (especially when I caught a head cold and couldn’t get enough humidity).

It also makes for a sweet gift for a friend who lives in a dry climate, loves their smart beauty gadgets, or both.
