Facial saunas are small, portable and can be used at home for relaxation and skin restoration. They offer a wide array of benefits– deep pore cleansing, glowing skin, fewer pimples and sinus relief. They are also inexpensive and easy to use.
Cleansing
The pores of your skin allow skin to breathe and carry oil, moisture and toxins to the surface. They also allow nutrients to permeate the skin. When pores fill up with dirt, makeup and oil, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads form. According to the Columbia University Medical Center Department of Dermatology, clogged pores is one of the main causes of acne. The steam from a facial sauna makes skin pores more pliable and easier to clean. The pores open up during the steam process and then close as skin cools off. This helps prevent more impurities from blocking pores.
Circulation
Heat created by facial steamers increases blood circulation. Blood vessels under the skin dilate, which promotes blood flow to the skin’s surface. Oxygen and other nutrients carried by the bloodstream reach facial skin, and this generates a youthful, healthy glow.
Sinus Relief
The Hall Health Center at University of Washington recommends inhaling steam to stimulate sinus drainage. Facial saunas provide a sufficient amount of steam to help clear out mucus, relieve sinus congestion, loosen phlegm and expunge allergens from your system.
Cost and Portabililty
A facial sauna is inexpensive compared to the cost of going to a spa, and it is simple to use. Most weigh only a few pounds. You only have to be plug it in, fill the reservoir with water and let it heat up. It also has a built in timer so it is unnecessary to watch the clock. Facial saunas provide an easy cleansing routine that can be done in the comfort of your home.
