Conair: The Complete Facial Spa, November 27, 2005
Overall, I like this product. It is rather relaxing to sit and pamper yourself. The unit makes short of a hissing noise as the water boils, but it's not too loud. Make sure to keep an eye on the water level. It shouldn't all evaporate if you only do this for, say, 10 minutes, however longer times require water to be added and if you don't add the water in time sort of a "burn" smell results. Add the water before putting the blue top on - otherwise it sort of pours out here and there. I don't like to use the timer because the beep noise is really loud and annoying. I wish the face cone was longer as well (as someone else noted) - while the steam doesn't hurt my nose - it does sting my forhead if I tilt my head to steam that area. I also do not like how your hairline and sides of your face to not get steamed unless you turn your head, which is uncomfortable. I recommend putting the unit on a few phonebooks (if you don't mind possibly spilling water on them) to ease have to bend your back and/or neck so far down. Keep napkins nearby to move the unit - so as to not burn your hands if water spills. Don't put lotion on your face or else it will end up smeared all over the blue part (eye area might be ok). The unit I purchased did not come with a face scrubber, so I have no comment on that. If you take the blue part OFF the unit (once it cools off and you remove the water), it will better fit in the original box for storage!!

Absolutely fabulous, dahling, February 26, 2006
We all know that when you buy a product, you shouldn't actually expect it to do what the ads claim it will do. At best, you can hope for a mildly effective effort on its part. Not with this sauna. After one use I was astonished at how smooth and glowing my face was, and kept touching my cheeks all day to feel how soft they were! The steam is just right--not too hot, yet effective--although I had to put my face down into the opening in order to really get the benefit. The microderm abrasion tool also works as advertised to scrub your skin without causing any pain, and the moisturizer pad did a great job of working moisturizer into my skin. And, as I said, afterward my skin looked better than it ever has, and my pores looked cleaner than they have in years. In fact, I had a professional facial at a good day spa not a year ago, and I don't remember having had results this good!
I recommend this product to everyone, without hesitation!

so far very happy with this product, November 22, 2005
I just received this product yesterday, and used it the same evening. It took approximately 3-5 minutes for water to heat up. Meanwhile I washed my face and put some cream on my eye area (btw, that was a good tip from manual, as you protect your sensitive skin around eyes). Steam was very good and strong, but I would probably be more happier if the facial cone was a bit longer, so my face is not so very close to the steam coming right out of the machine. I think using a towel over your head will be very helpful if you want to steam your face for more than 10 minutes. Just to add more effect to your steam facial treatment :) I set the timer on 10 minutes first time and it did work. I have been using my facial brush to exfoliate my face in the shower, but I like this facial brush that comes with this product. Brush is very soft and work pretty well. I thing this brush is more gentle but yet more effective than just using my old brush. It is not so harsh on your face. Use a generous amount of cream or moisturizer after using brush to exfoliate your face. Also, my personal recommendation - I would probably not use brush to exfoliate your facial skin more often than once in a week or two. Facial skin is very thin in general.. you don`t want to take it completely off :) Using mask right after steaming is very good idea too. Yes, I have been using boiling water in pot so far, but I find this product to be very convenient way of doing steam facial. And one more tip, if you still miss steaming your face over a boiling pot with herbs (sage is excellent thing) use this herbal tea instead of using mask.. Simply damp the towel and put it on your face for couple of minutes after steaming. So like I`ve said - product works very well and I am so far very happy with it. Enjoy!
