Using a humidifier at night can help you sleep better as well as look and feel better when you wake up.
How can a humidifier help me sleep?
As the temperature drops at night, the air holds less moisture. Running a humidifier at night while you sleep can help put moisture back into the air, which can help you breathe better, improving the quality of your sleep. When the air is dry, your throat or sinuses can also dry out, which can cause snoring, coughing, nose bleeds, uneven breathing or just waking up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth and needing a drink of water. This all leads to feeling unrested in the morning.
Adding moisture to the air can help combat this — letting you sleep longer and more deeply.
What are the beauty benefits of a humidifer?
If you suffer from dry skin or hair in the winter, adding moisture to the air can also help. Dry air can cause itchy, flaky skin, and even speed up the aging process causing early wrinkles in dehydrated skin. Running a humidifier at night will help you wake up with skin that looks and feels better. If you suffer from perpetually chapped lips during the winter that no lip balm seems to fix, try using a humidifier for a week. Similarly, if your hair is perpetually dry and frizzy, sleeping with a humidifier will help you wake up to a more manageable, hydrated mane.
