Because the home is sealed in order to prevent air flow from outside to inside, air conditioning can cause dry skin. It also removes the humidity in the air.

Can air conditioning cause dry skin?
No. Dry skin is not directly caused by air conditioning, but various other factors including illness, solvents and materials that are made to absorb moisture, including lime, some soaps which dissolve natural body oils, concrete dust, sawdust, etc. Air conditioning is designed to simply cool the surrounding air, not to dehumidify the air nor expel solvents or dust that will absorb moisture from the skin.
Does air conditioning cause a sore throat?
Not exactly. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air (so it can be very humid outside, but not inside). Removing moisture from the air contributes to dry mouth. If you are a mouth breather, you will also dry out your mouth. The dryness of room air, along with dryness from mouth breathing, can cause sore throats--especially in the morning.
The Cause Of Dry Skin?
If you want to know what causes dry skin, you simply have to look around you. The biggest thing that will dry out your skin is the air itself. If the air contains a lot of moisture, it will not take it from your body. If it does, though, it can sap the moisture out of your skin as it attempts to get more. Remember that your body is made, in large part, from water. You may have to add more moisture to your skin, in the form of a hand lotion, if the dry air is working against you.
What is the difference between summer air conditioning and winter air conditioning?
The conditioning of air is basically a tranferance of heat. In the summer time you remove heat from the air, in the winter you add heat to the air. Also in the summer an air conditioning unit removes moisture from the air allowing moisture to evaporate quickly from your skin and give you that crisp cold feeling. A dry space feels a lot cooler than a humid space at the same temperature. Heating dries the air. Making it a good idea to have a humidifier added to the heating system to provide the opposite effect in winter. Humid air holds heat longer than dry air and will not evaporate moisture on your skin and make you feel cold.

Why do you have itching and burning skin after cold exposure?
ANSWERGenerally, your skin will not itch just because of the cold. Instead, it is probably dry. Cold air is usually dry (warm air is moist, which is why it feels muggy in the summertime), and this brings moisture out fo the skin. Dry skin can be flaky, and it is instinct to sctratch at it to get the flaky dead skin off and because dry skin can be irritating to the new skin underneath it.ANSWERA. It doesntB. It's dry

Why does my skin crack and get dry even after I put lotion on?
Lack of moisture in the air, exposure to forced air heating and cold, dry weather can cause skin to be dry and cracked. Don't use soap as this will increase the dryness. Bathe yourself with moisturizing body wash, before you towel dry, apply a good moisturizer. Shower or bathe every-other-day. Increase your intake of water, while you decrease caffeine and alcohol, both which can cause dehydration.
What result using a psychrometer will let you know the air has high humidity?
The relatively higher temperature on the psychrometer's thermometer, because less water can evaporate into humid air. (And evaporating water has a cooling affect on the thermometer.)
