Facial Steamer

One of my hobby is taking care of my skin.

If I have 20mins in the morning to work on my face,

I will spend 10mins for the face care,  10mins

for makeup.

One of  very very simple yet special things to have

for my face care is, facial steamer.

Since I came to L.A. in 2001, I have used 4 different steamer so far.

Avarage, it takes  2-3 years for a good  steamer to break down

when I use it everyday. 

These are the kind I always love, and look for.

You can change the angle of the tube/mouth  where the steamer coming out.

you can find this on e-bay.

It is about $50-60.

Depends on the saler.

Easy for people who love to

do facial massage on the same time.

This is from Panasonic.

Panasonic Nano Care 

EH-SA42-P Facial Skin Care Steamer

About $200.

It makes nano ( super small particles of steam)

steam, and it really goes into your skin.

I got my Panasonic nano  steamer in Japan.  It has 4 different settings.

I am very happy about it.  My husband also loves it.

When I have sore throat during the winter, I use my steamer for my throat.

Well, I just keep my mouth opened while I am having facial steamer.  :)

Now, these 2 are the ones I don't recommend.

I got the same one 4years ago from e-bay.

It took for a while until steam came out,

and it was not strong steam.  Even though

I set the control dial on strong setting. 

I didn't see the meaning of the control dial on this.

Then it was broken in 2 and half weeks.

Maybe, I didn't have a luck on e-bay that time.

This traditional, head stick in type steamer.

This is not good for doing facial massage .

But this is the type we can find at most of

neighbor drug store.  And more reasonable price.

Using a steamer daily base really protect the skin from California weather.

If you are wondering what to buy to start your "at home facial", I really recommend to get

a happy steamer, and always to use distilled water for steamer or it will be clogged and broken down much earlier.
