Vanity Planet Aira Facial Steamer Review
/I did receive this product for free - all opinions are my own.
Hey guys! I just have to let you know about my skincare journey and share my facial steamer with you.
So if you’ve been following me on the ‘gram, you already know what’s up. I started taking my skincare seriously around the end of December. My motto is – “I’m too old to be crusty, period.” I don’t wear makeup often but I love a good beat. I want to look and feel as confident as I do with makeup without it.
So I’ve heard a few ladies in my skincare group raving about facial steamers and I recently enjoyed my first facial and steam was incorporated so I knew it had to be good. I went on the hunt and did a lot research before settling.
Benefits of Facial Steaming
Do you ever feel like you just can’t get your face clean? Clogged pores? Dehydrated skin? If so, facial steaming is just right for you.
I have combination/oily skin and I’ve seen the steamer work wonders for product application. I use 1-2x a week.
My top 4 reasons to steam
- Opens pores to allow better product absorption
- Its soothing, I always feel relaxed afterwards
- Hydration! Even oily skin needs to be hydrated
- Releases acne causing bacteria
"Freshly cleaned pores are better able to absorb skin creams with active ingredients such as retinol based-products or prescription creams from your dermatologist…" Dr. Arash Akhavan, MD, FAAD
How to Use Aira Facial Steamer
This steamer is not only aesthetically pleasing but compact. It comes in two colors: Rose Gold and Beige. It also includes three essential oil baskets to create a full spa-like experience. The water tank is easily accessible from the back. Fill with distilled water only and enjoy! The steamer takes 30-45 seconds to heat up and the nozzle can move to direct your steam.
My cleansing routine
1. Pre-cleanse with a balm
2. Steam (15 minutes)
3. Cleanse
4. Serum
5. Moisturizer
6. Lip Balm
