subject: Turn Back The Clock With A Facial Steamer [print this page] It's inevitable that signs of age will appear on everyone's face at some point. After all, it is the face that spends the most time exposed to the elements. Arms and legs are regularly covered up, but in all but the coldest of weather our faces are bared to the sun and the wind, and this can take its toll. In addition, sweat can dry and stay stuck deep in the skin. This can contribute to acne, or make the complexion uneven. The answer to these problems might be as simple as a facial steamer.
It might seem like one of those things that's too good to be true. Just spend a few minutes under a relaxing steam bath and your skin will clear up and look years younger? For many, it really is that easy. This is why dermatologists use facial steamers in their practices. Even plastic surgeons have been known to use them to make their patients look that much better.
Many skin blemishes, such as acne, are caused by dirt, sweat, and other substances clogging pores. A gentle heat, like that from steam at the right temperatures, opens the pores, allowing all those toxins to come out of the skin, leaving it fresh and clean. Naturally, the change won't be instant, but even after only one steam, your skin may feel noticeably softer. Soon, you'll start to see the changes in your complexion, and your face will look healthier and younger, all thanks to a facial steamer.
It is true that sometimes it takes more than simple steam, but a facial steamer can provide much more than that. Many of them have attachments for gentle brushes that will exfoliate your skin, leaving only the skin that is healthy and alive, even as the steam cleanses. What about moisturizing for dry skin? There are attachments for sponges that will keep your skin supple and silky smooth.
There was a time where the only place for a good steam was the salon. But now, you can buy your own home facial steamer, and start your first steam session within minutes. Anyone can get a professional treatment in the comfort of their own home. Many of them come standard with things like UV lights to oxygenate the steam and nourish your skin. Others have temperature control, even allowing for cold steam to close your pores and tighten your skin post treatment. All the perks of a salon steam, but at a fraction of the cost.
Your home steamer should be light and easy to move, have arms that can be adjusted and rotated to spray the steam in various directions, so you can find the most comfortable position, and have safety measures to prevent the steam from getting too hot. This almost always includes a timer so you get just the right amount of time under the steam.
It's difficult to imagine something as simple as heated distilled water can make such a big difference, and visibly rejuvenate your appearance - but that's just what will happen after a few sessions with a good Facial Steamer.
