7 Best Facial Steamers That’ll Help Unclog Your Pores

I’ve seen facial steamers being touted by skincare ~influencers~ on my IG for a while now, but I always low-key thought they were BS. Something that looked cool on your feed and maybe made you feel nice but didn’t actually do anything for your skin, ya know? Well, boy, was I wrong. After a fellow beauty editor told me all about the benefits of adding a facial steamer to your skincare routine, I promptly started using one and saw SERIOUS results. My pores looked smaller, my skin was brighter, and my acne even flared a little less.

It’s because steaming your face helps to soften the oil and dirt inside your pores, which makes it super easy to extract blackheads and unclog your pores. Also, when you heat up your skin, it becomes more receptive to whatever ingredients you apply on top, making your serums and moisturizers more effective. So basically, steaming takes your skin to the next level. Ahead, the seven best facial steamers your money can buy.
