I've had a conair facial sauna for years (and it was still working fine when I lost/misplced it) so I had to try another Conair.

Well, this is perfect, even better than the first one I got. Why? It's got that safety timer, it tells you when it's ready, it comes with two cones to choose from. Plus, it comes with this free exfoliating brush and sponge. So nice. I used it last night and now my skin's glowing beautifully, like it got a polishing. It's a nice way to pamper yourself.

Great price too!
BEST SKIN EVER - Review written on July 08, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

I am 40 years old and this is the best my skin has ever looked. The facial steamer and microdermabrasion tool have left me with an incredibly soft skin texture and appearance. I've had acne since my teens and also have keratosis pilaris which leads to a bumpy skin texture. Since using this product my skin is smooth and really does not need make up anymore which is the best part. I would highly recommend this product.

Now, I really don't think I have a huge face...but I think Conair might. The result of using this facial sauna was my face being un-evenly steamed - well on my nose, between my eyes, and on my cheeks (closest to my nose), but crap everywhere else. Much like another user pointed out, you have to tilt your head different directions to steam other parts of your face. No fun when you are trying to relax. And while you are tilting, the pores are closing on the parts of your face that are turned away from the steam. Pretty useless.

I also tried Revlon's Facial Sauna, and found the same thing. Does anyone know of a good facial sauna that has a face piece that allows your whole face to get steam??!

Thanks!

1st - I saw some reviews complaining about plastic smell (with some other saunas also) - DO THIS: wash it with soap & warm water before you use it.

As for the quality - you get a lot of bang for money - the included automatic brush works real nice & you probably don't need $200 clarisonic if you use this for cleaning - 2nd brush work real nice for applying moisturizer

Sauna itself - double whammy - good for your face skin + good for your breathing. Facial sauna is probably the Best thing you can do to clean your pores - you can apply scrub or pore cleaner after for best results.

Also - what goes very nicely with this set is to get a small bottle of Essential oils (I use 10ml peppermint with just a few drops)

I actually bought this item with my clogged sinuses in mind and it has delivered. There are no miracles in life, but this is a good bandaid until that happens. Not only do I clear my sinuses, but I get a skin treatment. How good is that?

Dr. Gross of MDskincare recommended this product in a Elle article ages ago and I finally got around to buying it. Its a v. basic no frills model that is v. easy to use. I steam and then use pore strips on my face and I love the results. With regular use pores are clearer and appear smaller. My facial sauna came on vacation with me and my hostess loved it so much that I bought her one as a thank you gift.
Better than 70$ evry month to the spa - Review written on April 12, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

I bought this facial sauna after my first visit, to a SPA, in USA for a deep pore cleansing where i was very desappointed because my face was looking the same after the facial and after $70 payed. I went there for a deep pores clean. expecting to have at least half of my face clean, but it didn't happend. She used the facial steamer and then a lot of masks, which i am sure they were expensive and good but my face doesn't really need them,it needs just a DEEP PORES CLEANSING! I left the spa very disappointed starting to look online for my own facial sauna so i can do it at home, for free. That's how i bought this product and it is working, it is working as good as the spa one was working minus $70 every time i use it. Makes enought steam and has a better effect if you use a towel around your head so it can keep the steam on your face. I personally add some tea in the water also, to me it makes a difference. You can add even the tea bags you have at home.I am happy with it and i am recommend it.

I just got this product and was so excited to use it right away, only to get so disappointed. I have tried a lot of professional facials so I know what I'm looking for. I felt so stupid while putting my face on the mask. It wasn't producing enough steam, that I was wondering if I should stick my face deeper into the mask to get more steam or to even just feel it.

My husband was trying to console me so he tried. He was giggling while he's doing it and he stuck his face deeper telling me it's what I should do to make it work. Well his conclusion is, if you stick your face so much deeper, you could burn your nose.

I'd give it credit maybe for sinus...but then again, I can't even be sure since I don't have that condition. But it's not for sinus after all! Maybe they should start advertising it for sinus, like "Moisturizing Mist Sinus Sauna System". I'm surely returning it!

This product is horrible. The steam is not sufficient for anything. Just may be 20ml of water boiling and you can imagine how much steam it can generate. Never go for this. I returned this product immediately as it is of no use at all.

The reason i bought this product is because i am obsessed with finding blemishes or pimples and squeezing the living life out of them. one problem i have dry skin and they just wouldn't come out, Having had facials before i knew that they use hot steam before extraction. I have white heads and pimples that are deep under the skin and when i used this product i was able to squeeze them out with out pushing bacteria to inside. I was amazed that my skin is actually smoother now because it adds water to the face, Very happy with the product and I only used it twice so far, so that means you get instant results.

I didn't think it would have worked so well because of the price, but I was wrong. It did everything it said it would do. It's great for my sinuses also. My daughter had congestion, and this helped along with her cold medicine (I couldn't have gotten her to hold over a pot).

$25 well spent for some "me" time.

I used the product once and it works okay. The same result could be created by boiling a pot of water over a stove and removing in from the stove and putting your face over it. Actually, that probably would work better. The steam from the product gets concentrated at the center of the face. Would I buy it again? No. Boil some water and save the money.

I researched the web, and decided on this sauna. Glad I did.. highly recommend it. Noticed a difference in my skin tone and smoothness after just a couple of uses with this Conair sauna. Have used other saunas, but this one is the best I've ever owned. The dual cones are very helpful, it has adjustable settings, and is just easy to use. Shipping was fast, price is great, and it lasts. I've used it for nearly a year now, no problems ~ and people asks me how I get my skin to look so healthy.. I tell them Conair.

This product IS fantastic for sinus pain sufferers. Quick to set up and easy to use. The facial cone is an awkward shape and maybe a little short, but it's reasonable for one size fits all. I bought it for sinus pain relief, so no comment on the other tools. It's a bargain and a major necessity if you need a safe and convenient way to steam your sinuses.

The only reason this is rated a 4 and not a 5 is because it's not a high-end product.

I was skeptical on this product and I was so desperate for a solution in helping my skin and my sinus problems. Well I knocked out two birds with one stone. I have am a 33 year old man with ache on my chin area and have some problems with the hair growing on that area too. My condition has dramatically improved with this machine. The steam is fast and helps open the pores and clear your skin. The exfoliating electric circular brush works so well with antibacterial/glisern bars. I also found this to be therapeutic for my sinuses. I am so pleased with this machine.

I originally received this as a gift. So, I bought this 2 different times for others as a gift. It is an awesome product. Works great on sinuses, in winter and refreshes skin. Love the scrub brush for microdermabrasion too. Take a while to heat up but I put a towel over my head when using it - seems to make the steam more potent. Would and have recommended to others.

The dual cones are most functional. The one smaller in diameter is great for helping clear sinuses, the larger one for giving facial pores a good "sweat bath." A fine addition to my health and beauty routine.

I ordered this because of the secondary cone which directs the steam more to the nose area than the entire face. Due to a medical condition I cannot use decongestants, so I needed something to duplicate the congestion-busting effects of a hot shower (nothing against showers, but let's face it: Taking a shower six or seven times a day in order to clear a stuffy head is just NOT practical, not to mention the wasted water!) and this facial sauna with the smaller alternative cone fits the bill perfectly. It produces steam almost instantly, is 100% effective, and it easy to store when not in use. I realize it can't be marketed as a health or medical aid but it sure does the job in that department!

This is a piece of junk. I bought two of them . one was a mistake and I couldn't find any way of deleting the second one. I was charged for both and they came on time. But they are useless.
Don't buy this. The thing takes awhile to warm up and the steam in of no use. Sincerely Wanda Rinehart.

I chose this item because I'm not really the spa-going type, and I wanted to steam my face more effectively than standing over a sink with hot water and a towel over my head. Oh, and I didn't want to spend too much. Overall I am satisfied- the item does what I need it to, and I feel like I didn't pay too much for it.

Pros:
-Doesn't take up too much counter space
-The base stays cool even after using for 10-15 minutes
-Produces effective amounts of steam to open pores and clear out the sinuses
-Ability to set a timer is convenient
-Auto shut off gives forgetful people like me peace of mind:)


Cons:
-In my opinion, the face tool/attachments don't do any more than a loofah or washcloth + exfoliating cream. Beware if you have long hair. Even though mine was pulled back, I got too close with the rotating tip and ended up having to cut some of my hair out of the tool.
-Sitting bent over the cone for any more than 10 minutes is neck-stiffening. I've tried propping the unit, using a taller chair, etc. but there's no way around it that I've found.
-The larger of the face cones doesn't quite get all of the facial areas. I've found that I have to spend a few minutes tilted one way, and a few the other in order to reach all of my cheeks, forehead, and chin. Using a towel behind the head seems to help a little.

Overall I am happy enough with this unit and its results that I will continue using it several times a week.
