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.

What's the difference between Laser and IPL hair removal?

Both laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) use light to heat the hair follicle and prevent regrowth. Both methods target the melanin in the hair follicle and permanent results can be expected from both. The key difference between laser and IPL is the type of light. What’s Laser? The laser is a monochromatic coherent light source, produce a very specific type of light consisting of one wavelength or color of light all going in one direction, which creates a single beam like a laser pointer. What’s ILP? IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broadband pulsed light source, IPL at home hair removal devices produce a wide range of wavelengths of light to produce a single white flash. This light is closer to natural light and can appear with an orange/red glow when the device is flashed against the skin, like a camera flash. Professional laser treatment is working more selective and therefore the very high energy will focus on the hair follicle rather than the surrounding ski...

How do I fix pimples for good?

To treat a deep, painful pimple at home, Dr. Feely recommends the following tips: 1. DO wash your skin before treating it. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, and be gentle to your skin while washing. 2. DO apply ice to reduce pain and swelling. As soon as you notice the blemish, wrap an ice cube in a paper towel and apply it to the area for five to 10 minutes. Repeat this two more times, with 10-minute breaks between icing. 3. DO apply a product that contains 2 percent benzoyl peroxide to the pimple. Available at your local drugstore, this treatment will help kill the bacteria that causes acne. Make sure you apply a very thin layer, as using too much can irritate your skin. While using this product, keep in mind that benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabrics. Avoid letting the medication come into contact with your clothing, and consider using white sheets and towels while using it. 4. DO apply a warm compress once a whitehead begins to form. To make a warm compress, soak a cl...
