Best Facial Steamers

1 - IONIC FACIAL STEAMER by Aira

Nicole Simpson, the founder of Amethyst Skincare, says that this steamer is great because you don't have to bend your neck too far to feel its power. "The steamer ionizes the water molecules, which helps hydrate the skin a bit faster," she says. "Ionized water typically delivers the best results without the need for a timely process. I caution against over-steaming as it can dehydrate the skin, and that’s what you want to avoid."

2 - PRO FACIAL STEAMER by Dr Dennis Gross

The beauty of this facial steamer is its simplicity. "It’s a simple, one-piece design that is lightweight and compact," NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Marnie Nussbaum says. "The micro-steam technology hydrates and purifies my skin effectively in just 9 minutes."

3 - FACIAL SAUNA SYSTEM WITH FACIAL CLEANSING BRUSH by Conair

Dr. Marina Peredo suggests investing in Conair's steamer because it "comes with a gentle brush that you can use to exfoliate your skin before steaming for best results." But she warns that at-home users should be careful when extracting. "When extractions are done improperly, they can cause scarring and more harm than the blackhead itself. The skin is fragile, so extractions are best left to a professional," she explains.

4 - NANO IONIC ONE-TOUCH OPERATION FACIAL STEAMER by Panasonic

Panasonic's popular steamer is usually sold out and for good reason. Los Angeles-based esthetician Tracy Hudson is a fan of the steamer for its long-lasting power and wallet-friendly price point.
