Should I use a humidifier this winter? Your questions answered
Staying healthy in winter is difficult enough, but dry indoor air presents a host of health challenges that can make the season even harder to get through. Low humidity can cause dry, itchy skin, painful cracked lips and cuticles, bloody noses and dry sinuses, which can make you more susceptible to sinus infections and symptoms of colds, the flu and other respiratory issues.
A portable humidifier is an important tool in your winter health arsenal, adding just the right amount of humidity to make breathing easier and skin less prone to drying and cracking. Andrea Collaro, Walgreens senior director of owned brands, and a licensed pharmacist, provides insights on humidifiers and tips on what to choose for your needs and room type.
Who should use a portable humidifier?
Humidifiers are great for anyone whose well-being is impacted by dry winter air. People who have asthma or allergies should consult with a physician first before using one.
What is an ultrasonic humidifier?
Unlike vaporizers and warm mist humidifiers that use an element to heat the water and make steam, ultrasonic humidifiers are considered a cool mist humidifier because they don’t have the heating element. Ultrasonic humidifiers generate mist through high frequency vibrations instead of a fan, making them extremely quiet and perfect to use while sleeping.
