Benefits of Using a Humidifier & Why Canopy Is The Best

When the humidity level in your space is too low, your body releases its own moisture into the air, known as transepidermal water loss. When this happens your skin becomes more dry and it can increase aging and make your skin look dull, on top of other issues. Ultimately, humidity levels at home should be between 40-60% depending on your comfort. You can use a hygrometer to measure humidity in your home. Amazon has a lot to choose from that are very affordable – here’s the one I use. 

Traditionally, there has been two types of humidifiers, cold mist and warm mist. With warm mist, the water is cleaned by being heated and then released as mist into the air. This process tends to be cleaner than a cold mist humidifier, but it reaches a smaller area of space. Also, since it’s warm, it has to be cleaned more frequently to prevent mold growth. With a cold mist humidifier, the water is cleaned through a filter and then released as a mist into the air. Unlike the warm mist, it reaches a larger area of space and doesn’t have to be cleaned as frequently. 

When I was researching humidifiers, my top priorities were that it could fit on my nightstand, easy to clean, and didn’t create mold. After a ton of research I choose the humidifier from Canopy. 

Unlike the cold and warm mist humidifiers, the canopy humidifier uses filtered, hydrated air, so there’s no mist! It also has smart sensors that keep the machine running until it’s completely dry, so there’s no opportunity for mold growth. This was one of the main reasons why I chose it. On top of its insane technology, it also comes with an aroma puck that sits on top of the machine, so it’s a humidifier and a diffuser in one!
