Spa Home Facial Steamer Sauna Review - Worth It or Worthless????
I was excited to receive this facial steamer. When I opened the box it looked perfect and I could smell the Frankincense and Mryhh very clearly. I do like the smell but just as a warning for those sensitive to heavy scents, it is a very strong smell. This was super easy to set up, which was good because the instructions or lack there of, are no help at all. I added the water waited about 3-5 minutes and it started to steam.
This doesn't produce buckets of steam, which i personally prefer in a facial steamer because I don't like everything in the area to be exposed to heat and humidity. The steam was great the essential oil helped open pours and cleanse my skin well. I have very dry skin so I only use this for 5 minutes at a time. I've been using it this way for 3 weeks now and have not noticed any ill effect or over drying to my dry sensitive skin. Quite the opposite actually. My skin is brighter, cleaner, and less flaky. Another awesome use is for colds and allergies!! I have very bad allergies and so does my son and we have both used this to clear our sinuses.
I love that it has 2 power levels as well. The low level is great for kids and doesn't over power them!! I would recommended this product just wish the instructions were a bit clearer. I got this facial steamer for free for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
Other essential oils that are good for using in facial steamers
- For oily skin: For big budgets, Neroli (Citrus aurantium var. amara). For low budgets, Petitgrain (Citrus aurantium var. amara). You may have noticed that these are the same plant – the bitter orange tree – and you would be right. Neroli is steam-distilled from the bitter orange blossoms, while Petitgrain is steam-distilled from the twigs and leaves. Neroli has a much more exquisite and refined scent, and is therefore much pricier, while Petitgrain is much lower cost (but also effective!).
- For sensitive skin: For bigger budgets, German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita). For medium budgets, Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum), which also has azulene content and is blue.
- For dry skin: If you have mucho dinero, Sandalwood (Santalum album). If no tengo dinero, then Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii).
- For hormonal skin: Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), or equal parts Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) and Marjoram (Origanum majorana). For hormonal balancing Rose Otto (Rosa damascena), but again, you have to be willing to pay way up. Rose is the most precious and expensive essential oil in the world.
- For breakouts: Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), or Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia). Plain Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) also works well. Other citruses (like Grapefruit – Citrus paradisi – or Lemon – Citrus limon) are also great for encouraging those whiteheads to come to the surface. Normally, you don’t put citrus essential oils directly on the skin because they can be phototoxic (they make the skin more sensitive to the sun), but in a steam, you are not doing that. Still, if you want to be careful, you can do it before bedtime.
- For faster healing of acne scars: For big budgets, Immortelle (Helichrysm italicum) essential oil is the best. It’s the most cell proliferant, most skin-rejuvenating essential oil I know. For lower budgets, Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) will also do the job – but good, organic Lavender is not necessarily “cheap” either.
