Facial Steamer

---

A proper cleansing routine can do wonders for your face as it can help you look younger. One of the most efficient methods to remove the impurities and detoxify your facial skin is the steam bath. But spa facial saunas treatments at professional salons can be rather expensive and performing them at home don’t always come to hand. Boiling water and sitting with a towel over your head while your face is above the steam may seem rather complicated, especially if you’re a busy woman. Thankfully, with the help of a facial steamer, you can skip the traditional method of facial steaming and enjoy deep cleansing benefits without any inconvenience. However, for best results, you should first clean and exfoliate your face with a facial cleaning brush and then steam the skin. Now would be the perfect time to apply a mask like blackhead removal mask or acne fighting mask as it penetrates the skin better.

There are many models that promise to provide professional cleaning yet few of them succeed. Searching for a trust-worthy manufacturer can be rather difficult, but not impossible, as we managed to select the best models currently available. All these steamer machines have proven their efficiency in face cleaning, being at the same time easy to use and reasonably priced. The comparison table below, as well as the reviews, will surely help you choose what is best for you, so take your time and pick your future facial steamer.

Unfortunately, the unit won’t shut off automatically when there’s no water left in the reservoir.

Features and Characteristics That Matter

After we reviewed all the 5 models, we will present you the main aspects we considered when we selected and ranked our products. As you will see, some steamers are more efficient or versatile than others but all of them are highly efficient when it comes to helping you get rid of the unwanted dead cells and remove the dirt.

• Design: maybe not as important as the steaming time or the features, the design of a personal care machine is worth taking into consideration. Most of the units selected here are compact and lightweight, thus easy to handle and store.

• Steaming time: specialists recommend steaming your pores for no more than 10-15 minutes, so a machine that provides a longer steaming time is not necessarily better. Except for Panasonic EH-SA31VP that can provide steam for maximum 6 minutes, all the other machines can work for at least 10 minutes. The machine with the most impressive working time is Pure Daily Care NanoSteamer as it provides hot steam for 30 minutes. Of course, if you want to reduce the steaming time, you just have to add less water.
• Speed of use: no one wants to wait too much time until they can enjoy their facial steam bath. For this reason, all our models are ready to use in maximum 1 minute after adding water. Preparing the steamer is quite easy, as you only have to fill the water supply tank with the desired quantity of water and turn the machine on. And this is pretty much all.

• Water tank capacity: the larger the water tank, the longer the steaming time. Therefore, it is absolutely normal that the models which can generate steam for a longer period of time come with a larger water dispenser. Pure Daily Care NanoSteamer has the largest water tank, 200 ml, while Panasonic EH-SA31VP features a small 50 ml reservoir.
• Automatic shut-off: this feature is very helpful as it offers you peace of mind in case you forget to turn off the machine. Unfortunately, not all steamers come with this feature, so you have to be more cautious and make sure you manually turn them off when you finish the steam treatment.

Wonderful Benefits of Facial Steaming

Adding facial steaming to your skin care routine can do wonders. And with the help of a face steamer machine, you can perform the treatment much easier right in the comfort of your home. To better understand why facial steaming is so essential, we will tell you more about the main benefits of using it. You will be amazed by the improvements in your skin within weeks.

• Unclogs pores: pores easily become clogged with the cosmetics you apply on your face, impurities, or dead skin cells. The result? Blackheads and whiteheads which are very unaesthetically. By steaming your face, you will be able to clean the pores and push the sebum out from them. Therefore, the blackheads and whiteheads will disappear.
• Removes toxins: similar to any other sauna, facial steaming makes you sweat. The heat helps detoxify your face much faster, so your skin will become healthier and more glowing.
• Clears up and prevents acne: in case you’re suffering from acne and you have tried all the possible treatments without any results, give facial sauna a shot. Two of the main factors that cause acne are bacteria and hair follicles clogged by dead skin cells or oil. Luckily, facial steaming can clean your skin pores and dirt and bacteria stuck in your pores will be eliminated. However, if you suffer from severe acne is better to consult a doctor first.
• Increases blood circulation: facial sauna improves blood circulation which leads to the dilation of blood vessels. As a result, your face will be more luminous and vivid. Also, the fine lines and wrinkles in the face will disappear and you will look younger.
• Reduces stress: what’s more relaxing than enjoying the soothing wave of steam that gently touches your face? And if you add your favorite essential oils, you can simply forget about stress and recharge your batteries.
