Quick list:
Craving an at-home spa day?
You should cop a facial steamer.
That being said, I’mveryselective about the facial steamers I recommend.
(Your skin health deserves high standards!)
The mist was also super fine and didn’t sputter or leak out of the machine.
(A major win for facial steamers.)
No special bells and whistlesjust a steady steam in a compact, portable design.
However, it didn’t sputter for me at all, which I consider a win.
I’d much rather have a slightly inconsistent steam than scalding water droplets spewed on my skin.
Not for nothing, the elegant design will make you want to proudly display it on your bedside table.
The water just feels cool instead of hot.
But for those craving just a shot of hydration, you might’t go wrong with this cool mist.
This has officially become my carry-on staple.
And it’s small, portable, and TSA-friendly!
It’s also a gem to prep your skin pre-makeup.
(I wouldn’t expect anything less from celebrity makeup artistJenny Patinkin.)
It’s worth it!
