We've rounded up the best humidifiers for winter.
If you've been finding your skin feels dry, your hair is particularly parched and no matter how much you moisturize, you can't seem to feel fully hydrated — a humidifier might help.
Winter is particularly tough on our skin, despite our best efforts. And if you've found yourself turning up the heat in your home or car over the past couple of weeks, you're likely feeling the effect even more.
One way to keep dry skin at bay during the winter is a humidifier. Read on to find out why you a humidifier is a winter must-have, as well as some of the best ones you can buy.
Why do you need a humidifier in the winter?
You may be expecting a more complicated answer, but the truth is: If you're turning on your heating at home, you need to use a humidifier. No matter how you heat your home, these systems are most likely drying out the air and reducing moisture that would otherwise be present.
Helping to moisturize the skin and give you overall comfort, humidifiers add water vapours back to the air to maintain a healthy level of humidity that is often reduced by internal heating systems.
Humidifiers can also help prevent snoring by lubricating the throat — and they can also help ease asthma symptoms caused by cold, dry air.
