In case you don't own one already, an air purifier can be one of the best things to buy to keep your sinuses clear during allergy season. There are tons of them on the market, but shoppers are gravitating toward the Germ Guardian Air Purifier thanks to its dual germ- and allergen-eliminating abilities.

The air purifier features a HEPA filter (that stands for high-efficiency particulate air) that reduces up to 99.97 percent of harmful allergens like dust, pollen, and mold spores, as well as a UV-C light that "helps kill airborne viruses such as influenza, staph, [and] rhinovirus," according to the brand. (Note: Air purifiers are not recommended by the Centers for Disease Control as an effective method to prevent the novel coronavirus. The best practices to protect yourself against the illness according to CDC guidelines are: washing your hands often for at least 20 seconds, using a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, and wiping down frequently touched areas with EPA-approved disinfectants.)
