The Pore Tube Fit Check
Our pick for: Prepping skin before any extraction session
Skill level: Total beginner
Where it fits: After cleansing, right before extraction
Our verdict: If you’re serious about extraction, steam is non-negotiable. This makes it easy.
Ask anyone who does this regularly and they’ll tell you the same thing: prep is half the result. Warm steam softens the skin and makes the whole session gentler. The NanoSteamer gives you a steady, fine steam without the old bowl-and-towel routine.
Why it earned a spot on our shelf
It heats up fast, puts out a steady stream, and it’s easy to position so you’re not hunched over a pot. It also doubles as a humidifier and towel warmer, so it doesn’t just sit in a cupboard. For the kind of close-up extraction we film, softened skin makes a real difference.
How to use it like we do on camera
- Fill with distilled water up to the line.
- Cleanse your face first.
- Sit comfortably about 12 to 15 inches away and steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pat dry and go straight to extraction while the skin is warm.
- Empty and dry the tank after every use.
Coach’s tip
Closer isn’t better. Keep a comfortable distance. Warm and relaxed is the goal, not hot.
