Humidifiers are little devices that add moisture to the air in your home. There are many different versions of them on the market, from budget-friendly, to high-end and many models can even be controlled by your phone from wherever you are. But what is the point of adding moisture to your room? Well, while there can certainly be levels of moisture in your home that are too high, you can also have a room or a home that is too dry. If you are living in an area of Aotearoa that gets particularly cold and dry, you may benefit from investing in a humidifier.
Here are the 4 benefits of a humidifier.
1. Reduce Dry Skin
Do you struggle with dry skin? This uncomfortable condition can be eased with the help of a humidifier. Sometimes, our skin just needs the help of some hydration and that can come from the air around us. A humidifier is a great way to tackle dry skin.
2. Help with Snoring
If the air is dry, you may be more likely to snore or experience worse snoring because the throat isn’t lubricated. A humidifier helps moisten the air and thus will keep your throat from getting too dry and encouraging those frustrating snores.
3. Protect your Home
The right moisture levels can protect the walls and floors of your home. Moisture can protect wallpaper from cracking and from the build up of static electricity. It can also help the floors and furniture last longer, and also help any plants in your home appear more vibrant.
4. Soothe Allergies
Similarly to how they can help with snoring, humidifiers can also help soothe allergies. If you suffer from a dry and itchy nose and throat, a humidifier can help moisten the air and thus, help soothe those problem areas. Just make sure you find the right balance – you don’t want the air to be too moist!
