Face steamer
Sometimes you just can’t make time for a trip to the aestheticians, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect your skincare. A home face steamer is fairly inexpensive and will help keep your face fresh and clear in-between fa- cials. The TYLPRO 4-in-1 Facial Steamer, available from Boots, warms towels, steams your face, humidifies rooms, and diffuses aromatherapy oils, giving you the complete at-home spa experience.
