'My pores appear smaller': This top-selling facial steamer is down to just $33
Get ready to combat dry skin and sinus pressure with this relaxing ionic gadget — it even doubles as a humidifier.
Winter gets most of the attention when it comes to dry skin, but for many of us, a thirsty complexion is a year-round affair. Not to mention, a long summer of 24/7 air-conditioning seems to have pulled every drop of moisture from our skin. Well, we've got the fix: the top-selling Nanosteamer 3-in-1 Ionic Facial Steamer. It refreshes skin that's dry, clogged or parched, and that burst of hydration comes at a serious discount. Amazon just slashed the price of this wildly popular steamer from $50 to $33. Scroll to see why 31,000-plus shoppers say it's key for dewier skin and minimized pores.
According to the manufacturer, this wildly popular gizmo produces an ionic steam that's ultra-effective at penetrating the skin. It also comes with a stainless steel blackhead and blemish extractor for a thorough facial.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
When you consider how much professional skin-care treatments can cost — in the hundreds, even thousands — $33 is a total steal. Plus, this device allows you to pamper your skin in the comfort of your own home. This is less than its Black Friday price from last year, so you know you're getting a great deal.
Why do I need this? 🤔
The NanoSteamer has just about everything you need for an at-home facial. It's a new type of steamer that generates nano-ionic steam. What's that? Nano steam, combined with ionic water particles, is up to 10 times more effective at penetrating your skin than what you'll get from a standard steamer, the brand says.
The steamer comes with four different stainless steel blackhead and blemish extractors that you can use right after your steaming session. It has a sizable water tank and can run for 30 minutes without a refill. It also has an auto shutoff sensor that powers down the device when water runs out. Is the air feeling dry at your place? The steamer doubles as a humidifier — and triples as a small towel warmer.
What reviewers say 💬
Legions of Amazon customers — that's over 31,000 five-star reviewers — are seeing serious results with the NanoSteamer.
Pros 👍
"Since I've been using this steamer, I've noticed a dramatic change!" said one satisfied shopper. "My pores appear smaller (my makeup has been looking so buttery and 'smoove'!). My skin is now retaining moisture, and best of all I've noticed a change in my hyperpigmentation and overall texture of my skin."
Another raved: "I'm really happy with it. It gets extremely hot, which makes it way easier to remove all that gunk inside your pores, which is why I wanted a face steamer in the first place. I also have really dry skin normally and now it feels much less dry. My skin feels super soft and moisturized, and my pores appear much smaller now that I've cleaned them out."
"I experienced immediate positive results from the first time I used this. It's so relaxing!" exclaimed a third. "I have extremely dry skin from lying in the sun for years, and after the first use, my skin was looking much better. I'm 64 years old, so anything I can do to improve this very dry, flaky skin, I'm willing to try."
Cons 👎
Several reviewers shared this user's critique. "The only downside is you cannot use essential oils in it," they wrote. That said, they added, "I love this little steamer. It does exactly as described." (Gotta have your oils? Keep reading for an alternative.)
"I wish it were more portable," shared a final fan, "but the cord is long enough for me to be able to sit where I wanted. ... It's easy to figure out and starts putting out hot steam in under a minute. Even though it's designed for more of a spa-day experience, I bought it because I was desperate for some warm steam to clear my sinuses. The facial setting worked great for that."
You can snag this steamer in lavender or silver for just a bit more.
If you want a more intense experience, the brand's professional-level steamer is also on sale — and you can use your essential oils with it.
This model produces three times the steam of the 3-in-1 model, plus it includes cool mist and aromatherapy chambers as well as a built-in magnification mirror. The cool-mist function can help seal your freshly cleaned pores post-steam, and aromatherapy fans can add essential oils for boosted steaming sessions or to diffuse a pleasant scent. The five-piece stainless steel blackhead and blemish extractor kit helps get gunk out of your skin after your steam.
A few five-star fans mention that this powerful steamer helps with sinus issues, like this reviewer, who said, "It's truly a game-changer. After three uses, my face has a natural glow, and I love the utensils provided to help remove clogged pores and pimples! But it's getting a five-star rating because if you have year-round bad allergies [like I do], this is for you ... The pressure in my face is gone, I feel like I can truly breathe again. Last, the aromatherapy basket is a must-have for me. A few drops of 100% Eucalyptus oil, and I feel brand new!"
