Facial Steamers
Hydrate and Cleanse Your Skin
A Two for One!

Facial Steamers Spa TreatmentFacial steams have a long history as a quick, easy method for a deep cleansing of the pores and re-hydrating the skin.

Facial steaming opens the pores, allowing deeply embedded impurities be gently steamed away. Steaming is also an excellent way to increase the moisture content of the skin.

Rehydrating the skin through steaming helps to stimulate the cells which, in turn, helps to improves skin tone and elasticity.

Goodness knows that aging skin needs as much moisture
as possible and a facial steam is the perfect solution!

A home facial steam is a very effective spa treatment, so don't be shy about indulging yourself. Home spa treatments for aging skin should actually be viewed as a necessity for effectively rejuvenating aging skin.

Choosing a Facial Steamer that is
right for you. . .

Facial home spa steamers are readily available just about anywhere you shop. There are two popular types of steamers.

The first type is the traditional model that most people are familiar such as the Homedics Models. However, a word of caution, some steamers can produce steam that is far too hot for your face. This can actually do more damage than good by producing broken capillaries.

The second type of facial steam spa is a relatively new hand held version of a steamer, like the Conair Hand Held Facial Spa or the HoMedics Facial Steam and Spa System.

Most hand held steamers are battery operated, portable and they both come with handy, dandy attachments to scrub and tone your skin after the home facial steaming. (The draw back is that they don't steam the entire face at once so it does take a bit longer!)

Or try the simple yet effective alternative:

home facial spa treatmentA beneficial yet thrifty alternative to purchasing a facial steamer is to simply fill your sink basin with very warm water.

Make sure the water is warm enough to produce steam to rise from the basin but not hot enough to fog up your entire bathroom!

Cover your head and the basin with a large towel, like a tent, and place your face above the sink's basin to steam for several minutes.

Using a microdermabrasion scrub after a steaming is an effective strategy for a particularly deep cleaning. Cleanse, and then proceed with your chosen skin care regimen.
