Got dry skin? Aging skin? Heck, even if you have oily skin, everyone could benefit from sleeping with a humidifier on throughout the night. Whatever products you apply on your face, neck, hands, and lips – moisturizers, night creams, serums, balms, etc. – you can be sure that a humidifier will help lock in all those ingredients, leaving you with more supple skin in the morning.
2. Makes for easier breathing
Whether you suffer from asthma, allergies, or the common cold, investing in a humidifier will help keep your nasal passages lubricated, making it easier for you to breathe. The more oxygen you can get in your body, it gives your body a better chance of fighting off infection and even helps you think better.

3. Prevents nosebleeds
The two most common causes of nosebleeds? Dry air and nose picking. Owning a humidifier can help solve at least one of these issues – sorry, we can’t help you with the nose picking! But, if you suffer from the occasional bloody nose or you live in a dry climate, a humidifier can help keep your nasal passages moist and lubricated, which makes a huge difference.
4. Reduces snoring
Because a humidifier is very soothing for the throat, many snorers find that it reduces the intensity of the sound, which is great news if you and/or your significant other snores.
5. Relieves sinusitis
Do you suffer from sinusitis or congestion? When the air is dry, your sinuses cannot drain or function properly and a humidifier can help improve your symptoms.
Note: Humidifiers tend to be on the pricey side, so before running out and purchasing one do your research. There are many different humidifiers out there that focus on specific issues. So, do a little Googling and asking around to find the humidifier that best suits your needs.
