Attention: Here Are The Best Facial Steamers in Malaysia To Help Purify Your Skin

Tired of your never-ending blackheads and blocked pores? We have two words for you: Facial Steamer. Let’s face it, if you’ve had the experience f pampering yourself at any local medispa, you’ll understand that the best part of the visit is when the aesthetician puts a steamer on your face. It is so satisfying to feel the heat and steam around the outer layer of your skin — knowing they would penetrate deeper to cleanse the oil trapped underneath, decongest your pores, and eliminate blackheads. As a result, your skin feels so much fresher and cleaner than before. 

With the current environment that we live in — the foul pollution, the UV rays, and constant exposure to green and blue light from your devices, we encourage you to invest in the best facial steamer to help transform your skin for the better. But with so many brands and recommendations available on the market, buying a good product could be tricky. Fret not, Beauty Insider has done our best to search for the best facial steamers in Malaysia to help enhance the appearance of your skin. Scroll down below. 

The Benefits Of Using a Facial Steamer

Though facial steamers are often overlooked when it comes to beauty gadgets, they’re actually one, (if not the most) effective tools mankind ever created. According to trusted beauty aestheticians, the main advantage of incorporating facial steamers into your beauty routine is that they’ll help to increase blood circulation. When you increase the skin’s temperature, it will be easier for oxygen to flow around your skin cells, feeding them with good and new nutrients, thus giving you a more healthy and younger appearance. 

No matter how much time you dedicate to cleansing, toning, and moisturising, facial steamers were created to help further eliminate all the dirt, oils, and pores trapped underneath your skin. And once your pores are open after a good steamer treatment, it will be much easier to clean and get rid of congestion. Even if you’re committed to following an eight-step skincare routine, day and night, a good steamer is always necessary. No wonder every spa is fully supplied with facial steamer devices. 

How Long Should I Steam My Face? 

The device is called a ‘’steamer’’ because it provides a lukewarm to hot temperature water vapour that is fogging your face. So it shouldn’t be exposed to your skin for longer than 10 minutes. Longer than that and it’ll burn and cause your skin to peel — we wouldn’t want that. And as rosy as it sounds, dedicating at least once a week to steaming your face is enough. Your skin will thank you. 

When Should I Use a Facial Steamer? 

A steamer should be the first step in your pampering session. Then, always cleanse before and right after using a steamer to remove any excess dirt and oils unearthed during the steaming session. Proceed with applying the rest of your beauty products next—toning, serum and moisturising.
