Use This Face Steamer Once a Week, and It Transforms My Skin

This post is our customer Katya from Arkansas which bought the Ion Moisturizing Hot Mist Face Steamer. After purchasing and using it for a while, she sent us her experience of the facial steamer.

I’m a notorious skeptic when it comes to trying new beauty products, especially when they hit above the $50 mark. I need cold, hard proof that it’ll work, that there aren’t cheaper products out there that’ll do the same thing, and that I actually need it. So when I first came across the Ion Moisturizing Hot Mist Face Steamer, which rings in at a decidedly uncheap $59, I laughed it off as some kind of luxury scam. A little machine that blows warm steam onto my face in the name of self-care? I wasn’t so sold on it.

The brand claims this thing brings the results of a professional facial home by using steam to hydrate, clarify, and detoxify your skin(from the Benefits of Steaming Face), leaving you with that just-got-a-peel glow—and while you don't get the luxury of someone going to work on your face and bringing you a lemon water after, reviewers from all corners of the Internet agree it's the next best thing. I consider my (huge) pores and uneven texture to be my biggest skin issues, and given that I’d yet to find something that really helped, I caved—$59 gone but not wasted.

Using it is simple. Once a week, I set the timer for the recommended nine minutes, turn on my favorite podcast, and essentially zone out. It's the first step in my skin care routine to really enhance the absorption and effectiveness of the products to follow. A quick steam before I throw on a charcoal mask has been the most amazing combination—after doing so every weekend for three months, I’ve seen real improvement in the size of my pores and my overall skin texture. It also does wonders for hydrating my skin when it’s feeling super dull, tight, or dry. So much so that my boyfriend and I fight over who gets to use it first after a heavy night of drinking and no sleep.

Surely, an at-home facial steamer is nothing short of a luxury investment. But through some critical testing, it’s become a staple in my home. Not only has it proved itself capable of leaving me with clearer, glowier skin, the nine sweet minutes of pure relaxation can't be beat.

How to Stop an Oily Face

The skin on your face produces natural oils that protect it, but what if your face produces too much oil and you want to stop it? Oily skin may cause acne and make you feel self-conscious, but luckily there are some simple ways to care for your skin that can help put a stop to an oily face. 1. Use a gentle cleanser. Wash your face using a gentle cleanser to avoid irritating your skin. Using harsh cleansers on your face can actually cause your face to produce more oil to compensate for all of the natural oils that were removed. If using a gentle cleanser is not effective for you, try a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid. 2. Don’t scrub your face too hard. Scrubbing your face with a washcloth or textured sponge can irritate your skin and scrubbing cause your face to produce more oil to compensate for all of the natural oils that were removed. If you do use a washcloth to wash your face, apply gentle pressure. You can re...

What causes a massive blackhead to form?

A blackhead refers to something scientifically known as a 'comedone'. Comedones are formed as a result of the blockade of the duct of something known as the ‘pilosebaceous unit'. This entity consists of a hair follicle and attached to it a structure which is known as the 'sebaceous gland.’ This gland is the oil producing factory of our skin and this oil production is in part controlled by androgens or the male hormones, which in a small quantity are also present in females making comedones and as a result acne vulgaris (pimples) a universal problem. Now to understand this apparently complex description, just think of this as small oil wells lying beneath your skin and opening on to the surface via a pipe. This oily substance is known as 'sebum’ and it contains cholesterol, wax, and wax esters as its main constituents. Its production can increase as a result of many factors : Excess Androgens (Hormonal) Use of certain cosmetics and topical medications (irritants,...
