Hot Facial Steamer
$40.99
Steam increases the temperature of your skin, which in turn heats the debris in your pores. The dirt and oils clogging your pores are usually the consistency of hard butter, but with a little heat, they can be melted to more of soft butter. "It only stays soft as long as the skin is moist," adds Rouleau. Once your pores are open, it's easier to clean the skin and rid it of any congestion. Usually, your go-to esthetician is the key to unlocking cleaner skin, but as social distancing becomes the new norm and local businesses closed, it might be a while until you can get back in for a treatment. If you're thinking of taking matters into your own hands, you should invest in a quality facial steamer. The beauty tool can bring the spa experience to your home bathroom.
One of the main benefits of using a facial steamer at home is that it increases blood circulation to the skin by raising the skin’s internal temperature,” Rouleau explains. When you increase the skin’s temperature, oxygen flows to the surface and “feeds the skin cells with new nutrients,” Rouleau adds.
Another benefit of facial steaming is hydration. “As long as you seal it in within 60 seconds after discontinuing the steam,” Rouleau cautions. “You have a one minute window before moisture evaporation occurs, which quickly leads to dehydration. Skin cells are like fish and need water to live, so anytime you infuse water on to the skin, you are getting hydration—but be sure to apply an alcohol-free toner or serum and moisturizer after turning off the steam.”
