The device, which is part of the Mother’s Day offering from the store, is much easier than age-old steaming methods which involve warm towels or beauty-lovers holding their heads over bowls of boiling water.
And according to Healthline their are numerous health benefits to using a facial steamer.
Steam can help cleanse the skin, ridding it or pore-clogging oils and bacteria which causes acne.
It can also promote circulation and improve hydration.
Face steaming is also said to improve the collagen and elastin in the skin and help with sinus congestion.

While steaming is great for the skin it should be limited to once or twice per week – for a maximum of 15 minutes to avoid damage to the face.
According to beauty experts too much facial steaming can also lead to symptoms of premature aging like wrinkles, sagging and redness.
2020 saw men and women take a closer look at their skin after breakouts and irritation became commonplace with global lockdowns.
A busy mum-of-two from Melbourne recently shared her skin-health regime with Daily Mail Australia and said hydration is the key to a healthy glow.
Kayo Kobayashi lives in Melbourne with her husband and teenage sons, 11 and 14 but she grew up in Japan where skin care is more than a lifestyle choice – it is part of the culture.
Kayo, who has lived in Australia for 21 years, started her skincare journey much later than most Japanese men and women.
She was 18 and had just started university when she took the dive into looking after her skin.

‘For me the real results come from consistency – I don’t miss a day of looking after my skin.’
Now after trying everything and anything she has a firm daily routine – but says it only takes ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes at night.
‘I have gone back to basics. It is all about prevention and there isn’t a quick fix. For me it is the ritual that is important to me.’
Kayo had to overhaul her regime when she came to Australia – to deal with the harsh climate. But she also tweaks her routine depending on the weather and as she ages.
‘For me hydration is everything, so if I feel like my skin is a bit more dry I will do a mask or add an oil,’ she said.
The mum doesn’t cleanse her face in the morning and is interested in the Eastern approach to skincare.
