Panasonic Facial Steamer | Nano-ionic Technology

Whoa.  A makeup-less Gabrielle appearing on your feed!  Although let it be known, thou shalt always turn thy head towards the light when shooting without thy makeup.  Finally, all of those years watching Tyra on ANTM have paid off.  Anyway, there's a very good reason as to why I'm baring all; I'm super keen to spread word of Panasonic's Facial Steamer with Nano-ionic technology!  Since its launch, the Panasonic EH-XS01 Facial Steamer has quickly found its way onto beauty tool leaderboards.  With this in mind, I set about unwrapping my new toy and putting it to good use.  Makeup off, hairband on and 100% ready to absorb that moisture...

Okay, first things first: how to use the facial steamer.  Beautifully simple (thank you Panasonic for not testing my patience).  Open up the back, fill the small water tank, switch on the device and one minute later - steam!  You need to keep your face 20cm away from the device to ensure the best and safe results.  I can't even begin to tell you how soothing the steam is on your skin.  Although, if you've ever put your head over a hot bowl of water with a towel draped over your head then you'll have some idea of what I'm talking about.  Consider this the neater, fuss-free version of that, as a way of complementing your daily skincare routine.  Depending on how long you have, there are three settings to choose from:

________________

12 minute ''spa treatment''

6 minute hydration

  3 minute deep cleanse

The question on everyone's mind right now: but how does it improve your skin?  First of all, Panasonic claims a visible benefit of 'beautifully hydrated and revitalised complexion'.  Having used this for a couple of weeks now, I can already vouch for this.  The Facial Steamer works by opening up your pores; something I was at my wits end with around my nose area and well, problem solved!  Secondly, the Panasonic EH-XS01 Facial Steamer helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (by improving skin moisture by 130%).  As well as the positive effects to the skin, there's also the added bonus of introducing a touch of relaxation to your daily routine.  Personally, I consider this another form of self-care, as you're placing yourself in a fixed position with your eyes closed for at least 3-12 minutes.  No distractions.  I know some people enjoy applying their evening oils to their skin as their facial steaming session comes to a close; both relaxing and beneficial.

I'd love to hear whether you've ever tried using a facial steamer before?  Let me know in the comments below whether you like the sound of the Panasonic Facial Steamer!
