Humidifiers: the secret to better skin, hair, sleep, and immunity. 

A humidifier works to increase the moisture levels in the air, which provides so many health and beauty benefits. Here are some of the things that a humidifier helps with and why you should consider investing in one.

What does a humidifier do?

Humidifiers care for the air by using water vapor to increase its moisture levels. This brings the air in your home to its ideal hydrated state.

Why is hydrated air good for you?

Your home’s best atmosphere includes air that’s at an optimal hydration level, which is exactly what a humidifier helps achieve. Humidity acts as a natural moisturizing agent, making the air fresher and more comfortable. This can allow us to transfer oxygen through our blood vessels more easily, which leads to an array of health benefits.

What are the health benefits of a humidifier?

Humidifiers make your air healthier by boosting it to its optimal hydration range, giving your immune system some extra support—and this helps alleviate allergy symptoms such as sore throats and dry eyes. Although great for all-year usage, humidifiers are especially great in the colder months and can act like a buffer between you and flu season.

Can a humidifier improve your hair and skin?

A humidifier will hydrate your skin; improve its texture and elasticity; strengthen and protect its natural barrier; and even improve its ability to absorb skincare products. It also does wonders for your hair, keeping it soft, shiny, hydrated, and strong. A humidifier sets the foundation for your beauty routine. It’s the true definition of beauty sleep.

Do humidifiers help your sleep?

By alleviating stuffy noses and dry throats, a humidifier can create a more comfortable sleep environment for you and your loved ones. Proven to relieve sleep apnea symptoms, it can help you breathe better and therefore sleep better. With a whisper quiet, bedside table-friendly humidifier, you’ll be setting the stage for your best night’s rest.

Where should I buy a humidifier?

We love the Cloud Humidifier by vitruvi. This ultrasonic cool mist humidifier naturally hydrates the air in your home, and is design-forward and display-worthy. Baby-safe, easy to clean, whisper quiet, and offering a light-free night mode, it has so many convenient features.
