HUMIDIFIERS 6
Kids need humidifiers that match their needs. Those using expelling cool mist are the safest, as they don’t pose the risk of steam burns, experts agree. This owl-shaped cool mist humidifier from Crane promises to provide relief for cold and flu symptoms, sore throats, stuffy noses, dry itchy skin and chapped lips; $44.99, www.homedepot.com.
About this time of the year, you halfheartedly crank up the heat in your home. You welcome the warmth but cringe at the prospect of feeling dehydrated. A humidifier can turn that scenario around by infusing moisture back into the air and bringing relief to chapped lips, flaky skin and even flulike symptoms.
