What are the pros and cons of a facial sauna? I'm thinking of buying one. I will like to know if it is a good deal or should I continue with the one at the gym.

Nobody knows anything about facial sauna and its effects? Whao, it seems there is no use of buying it then.

used to own one until I realised I get burned when I expose my skin to heat. The steam vapour was the culprit. I exfoliate without the heat and it works for me. I don't use hot water to bathe cos my skin darkens easily. But of course its ok to exfoliate with steam vapours if you can tolerate it cos its a good way for deep-cleansing, open pores et al.

I have a facial sauna system thingy that i use and love. I dont use it as much when the weather is warm bcuz well its just to darn hot. The tip to not scolding yourself is to have your face too close to the steam. When u do, it causes redding and scarring, peeling and u do not want that. If u dont want to purchase one, you  do not have to.

boil water, put in some kind of bucket/bowl or whatever, bring your face close to the steam with a towel over your head to trap the steam, its just as effect as the facial saunas or going to the gym. Kind of like the pic shown below:

Thanks naija_diva but I have tried that and after some time the steam reduces and it does not have an impact anymore especially when you live in a cold region. It's just that I have not been sweating for sometime now and I notice the my face is now prone to acne which I am told to go for a facial sauna.

how long does the steam last for when u do it? or perhaps u could find a facial sauna online or in stores.
