Enjoy relaxing, spa-quality facials at home with this NanoSteamer, a perfect skin care tool to fully moisturize your skin and thoroughly cleanse your face.

You can steam before skincare routine to help absorb cream better; steam in the morning to soften your skin for easier makeup application and longer lasting results.
The multifunctional 3-in-l device can also be set to humidify (使潮湿) a room and has an extra chamber (室) to warm towels for refreshment.
A larger 200ml water tank allows for 30 minutes of working time with a completely silent operation.
