Bring the Spa Into Your Home With a Facial Steamer That Will Make You Dewy and Glow

Taking care of my skin is one of the biggest ways I practice self-care.

My mom began taking me to her esthetician when I was a teenager.

It was in that treatment room that I learned professional facials are not a luxury service but an essential ongoing investment for your skin’s health.

However, I do not want to break the bank so I only allow myself to get a professional treatment once every eight weeks.

Therefore, I make sure to take extra good care of my skin in between appointments.

How?

1. By never, and I mean ever going to bed with make-up on.
2. Using a light exfoliant on my face and down my chest 2-3 x per week.
3. Toning my skin morning and night to remove excess dirt, oil, and make-up.
4. I give myself a lymphatic drainage massage with oils once a day. Hot tip: You can use your hands, jade roller, or a sculpting tool for this.
5. & always following up any skincare routine with a good moisturizer because let’s be honest; everything looks better hydrated.

But there is no skincare treatment I love more than facial-steaming.

If you are into spas – facial steaming is for you.

It’s my very favorite part of getting a facial. The steam cleanses, nourishes, and tightens my skin.

Plus, it feels luxurious AF.

The sensation of laying down after a long day, dozing off to the whispers of soothing music, face cleansed, oils diffused, with warm steam hitting your face is a MF’n vibe, and there’s nothing like it!

Spoiler Alert! You can catch this vibe all from the comforts of your own home.

You can imagine my excitement when I was waltzing my ass down the Sephora aisle’s one day and caught a glimpse of the Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Facial Steamer.

Gasp! I-had-to-have-it.

& so it was.

I purchased my very-own facial steamer!

This thing is pretty magical, but it’s all about the atmosphere.

Comfort is key.

I try my best to set-up a spa-like ambiance inside my home.

It only takes a few minutes to clear your space.

Remove clutter, give your floors a quick sweep, and make sure the other humans living with you know they need to be quiet for the next 15 minutes.

This practice will ensure that your space will deliver all the serene vibes you need.

Hot tip: Add a drop of calming oil to your steamer, turn on soothing sounds, pour yourself a cup of honey chai yogi tea, and wha-la you’ve got yourself an at-home spa!

Steaming is also an absolute mood booster! It reduces stress, hydrates the skin, opens pores, and is pretty awesome to have on-deck when battling a massive hangover. Just saying…

What I didn’t realize until I had my facial steamer was that it makes your skin GLOW!

I don’t always get compliments on my skin, but over the past year 1/2, I realized my friends and family started commenting on dewy my skin looked, and they asked me what I was doing.

I didn’t feel like I was doing anything drastically different from my usual skincare routine.

However, it dawned on me that what I was doing differently with my skincare on the days I got compliments was that I had used my facial steamer!

After researching my steamer a bit further, I found out that the micro-steam technology built into the machine hydrates and purifies the skin, revealing a dewy and soothed complexion that lasts all day long!

So that’s that. My facial steamer is my favorite skincare toy because it allows me to relax, accelerates the absorption and effectiveness of my products, & it leaves my face d-e-w-y and glowing. What’s not to love?

& that’s the squeeze.
