The Best Humidifiers to Buy at Every Price Point

According to the calendar, winter is (eventually) coming, even if we've only just begun to feel the cooler temperatures. Cranking up the heat may feel great at first, but dry winter skin and painful sinuses are sure to follow. However, there is a solution — humidifiers put moisture back into the air so you can breathe easier and keep skin and hair from feeling like leather and straw, respectively. They can also help ease cold and cough symptoms. "During the cooler winter months, decreasing temperatures bring decreases in humidity as well. Dry heat from radiators can also remove humidity from the air," Suzanne Friedler, Clinical Instructor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center tells Allure. "At these times when our skin and eyes are already prone to dryness, talking long hot showers and using harsh soaps can further remove the natural oils and moisture from our skin." Friedler says. "People who live in dry climates also face a challenge in keeping their eyes and skin hydrated. One way to counteract these drying factors is by using a humidifier." Sounds simple, enough until a Google search reveals just how many humidifiers there are to choose from. Have no fear — we've helped narrow it down with this list of humidifiers that are considered the best of the best.
