Beat winter dryness: Shop top air purifiers and humidifiers

We are breaking down the difference between a humidifier and an air purifier.

As we move into the colder months, the use of humidifiers and air purifiers is on the rise.

There is nothing worse than the winter heating systems drying out indoor air, leaving you with dry skin, irritated sinuses, and can even the increased spread of cold and flu viruses.

Humidifiers can be a great option to restore essential moisture, creating a more comfortable living environment.

In addition to indoor spaces becoming more closed-off, air purifiers can play a critical role in improving air quality by removing allergens, dust, pet dander, and more.

For those who might be feeling the effects of allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities, purifiers help to create a cleaner indoor space.

Scroll on to check out some top picks in both categories.

(Be sure to consult recommendations from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission about the proper way to use an air purifier, such as plugging it directly into a wall socket, using HEPA filters and avoiding ozone-generating devices.)
