Anyone ever use the Navage nasal irrigation system?

Have you tried a humidifier? With the cold air and heaters running, rooms get super dry.

I have the opposite problem, well, I have no central heating. The humidity is usually over 50% here, usually significantly. Recently bought a dehumidifier, which I run 24/7, have to empty it of water almost daily. I use default settings, which target 50%.

It's rare that it gets "super dry" around here and when it does, it's quite the treat!

Which is the best dehumidifier to run on a small bathroom? the focus of humidity in my appartment is after showers, the bathroom has no ventilation, so there is some mold.

I use a saline spray due to how sensitive my sinuses are. it gets very dry here to the point my skin cracks. I run a humidifier here in the fall and winter to pacificy any skin issues. my heat only comes on in the morning as I wake up and get ready for work and evening as the sun sets and the temps dip.

I have my dehumidifier in a very small bathroom. It does have ventilation if I open the window. I figure a good one for you is the one I have:

Hisense DH5020K 35 Pint, 1,000 sq. ft. Coverage, 2 Speed Dehumidifier. I got mine cheap, being a refurbished unit on Ebay ($99.95). I appears basically new. I think it's probably selling cheaper than Lowes, etc., because they have a new model, which is very little different. I run mine with the default settings (Auto).

What I do is run it all the time. When the reservoir is full, it shuts down automatically until you empty the reservoir. It's possible to run a hose from it and not have to empty it if you have a drain to accommodate it, but I don't, so I have to empty it. I empty it various ways, depending. I can pour it in my washing machine, use the water to wash dishes in the kitchen, or dump it into my garden to water my vegetables. The water is clean. I wouldn't drink it, but otherwise it seems really clean.

Well the thing is, my appartment's bedrom has no window, there's only some nasty ventilation grid thing in the wall filled with dust. I have never cleaned it because im scared to push inside the bathroom whatever the hell is inside there with the vacuum cleaner.

I have considered installing an extractor in there to push bad smells out of the bathroom but if I were to do that, wouldn't the humidity be pushed inside there as well creating a ton of mold in there? Im not sure what to do.

As far as the dehumidifier, I was told that I would need a powerful one with a compressor, otherwise these devices fall to pump the humidity that a post-shower environment generates.

I figure all dehumidifiers have a compressor. You can get bigger ones than that 35 pint for bigger spaces. Look them up. That smaller one isn't all that small and if it's in a small bathroom, it takes up less space. They aren't light but they have wheels (four rotating casters) and you can move it around easily on a solid floor. If you get one, read the instructions! Mine is doing fine so far. There are reviews at Amazon, probably Lowes too.

I figure you could probably get some pro in there to look over your situation for free, tell them your concerns. It will only take them 10-20 minutes and if they're good and honest you'll find out a lot. Maybe call a few people. HVAC specialists, I think.
