Treat Yourself to a Home Facial

by Michelle Petrov

Do you love facials but don’t have the time or money to get on everyday?  Panasonic has a great home facial product called the Facial Ionic Steamer, which gives you a great 6 minute facial at home.  Facial steaming is not new to Panasonic.  They introduced their first steamer in 1980.

Their latest Facial Ionic Steamer includes Nano-ionic steam, which sprays extremely fine nano particles, which is 4,000 times finer than normal steam, penetrating your skin and moisturizing it.

Benefits of the Panasonic Ionic Home Facial

As we get older, our skins loses its elasticity as well as its ability to retain water, which leads to wrinkles and creases.  Lotions help our skin, but they cannot penetrate as deeply as nano particle cleansing.  The Panasonic Ionic home facials helps with…

• Cleansing – these nano particles penetrate deeply into your skin to encourage deep poor cleansing, making makeup, dirt, and excess oil removal easier
• Refreshing – your skin will feel refreshed and rejuvenated after bathing in the moisturizing steam

The Panasonic Ionic Steamer recommends you use distilled water to ensure you do not clog up the inside of the steamer.  The water tank can be filled to the top line level for a 6 minute facial for halfway for a 3 minute facial.  The Ionic Steamer is meant for everyday use and it is designed to be only 3-6 minutes to minimize your time yet refresh you fully.

Ideally, you should set up your Steamer about 8 inches away from your face.  If you’re not sure how close 8 inches is, no worries, Panasonic includes a paper ruler for you.  This distance is important because it you will feel a burning on your face if you’re too close.  The steam feels really nice on your skin, it’s literally a face steam bath!

The Panasonic Facial Steamer has a 2 year limited warranty and sells for $179.99 through Amazon.

A Mom’s Perspective

The Panasonic Facial Ionic Steamer is a very impressive at home facial steamer. It is very easy to use and the sleek shape makes it easy to travel with.  The steam that comes out is perfect and the angle in which the steam comes out is just right for the face. I have used it to help remove makeup and the makeup comes off easily. I have also used it after removal of my make up and washing my face and the steam help remove any excess make-up and residue.

My favorite is to remove all my make up and then steam my face and put a warm cloth on my face, it is like having a facial at a spa and it leaves the skin very refreshed and cleansed. The water does run out fast so the steam does not last as long as a normal facial at a salon, but for an at home facial spa, it is a very impressive system and one in which I would add to my home facial regimen. I love the product.
