One of my favorite things  I enjoy when I have a facial is the steam machine! Besides relaxing me completely, facial steaming also serves many beauty and health advantages. Steam generates high temperature and moisture that open the pores of your skin. The external layer of the skin is softened, unclogging pores, and the warmth of the steam increases circulation helping to remove impurities and toxins built up in the skin. Be it make-up, blackheads, dead skin cells, even pollution, there is hardly any debris that facial steaming can’t fight!

Steaming also delivers oxygen, water and nutrients to the skin. The end result is deep cleansed, re-hydrated, and glowing skin! Steaming also has an added bonus; inhaling the steam stimulates sinus drainage, opens sinus passages getting rid of allergens, relieving nasal congestion. If you are an allergy sufferer like me, even a few minutes spent inhaling steam is a God send!

Ideally, a proper skin care routine includes facial steaming. It is highly recommended that steaming become incorporated into a weekly beauty routine so that skin may get rid of the harmful toxins and effects that it constantly is exposed to on a daily basis. Unfortunately most of us don’t have the time and/or the money to be making weekly visits to the spa for facials. And even for someone like me who knows the benefits of steaming, I find that I rarely make the time, because of the time involved and the mess. Thankfully there are facial steaming kits available that take seconds to activate.

HAAN, a recognized worldwide market leader and innovator in engineering steam technology, has begun its foray into the beauty world with the introduction of HAAN Therapeutics. Founded in Korea by Romi Haan, this young housewife and mother set out to solve a problem. How can you get the floor sparkling clean without investing a lot of time and without using harsh chemicals? Like most great entrepreneurs, she was frustrated by the time and effort to keep her household clean and sanitary, and looked to develop easy to use products that would clean and sanitize. The answer was surprisingly simple: Steam. When heated and applied properly steam kills 99.9% of household germs, bacteria and viruses and easily powers away dirt and grime. She began with an easy to use steam mop and has created a line of innovative steam products, synonymous with serious engineering, quality materials and stringent manufacturing standards.

As a wife, mother, business woman and faithful salon client Romi knows how challenging it can be to maintain the skincare and makeup routine that professional estheticians and makeup artists suggest. Turning her eye to the Beauty World, Romi has created a brand that uses her knowledge of steam innovation, and merged ancient wisdom with the latest advancements in skin care technology. A blend of science and splendor and the result are unique products that are easily used in the comfort and convenience of your home that yield professional quality results.

In addition to an amazing SAI Complex Activator home steam facial machine that is quick, and easy to use, Romi has developed an anti-aging skin care line that is built around a complex of Steam Activated Ingredients (SAI) that were globally sourced and incorporated into each component. Their specially calibrated Activator optimizes each ingredient within the SAI Complex and aids in the delivery of the formula into the deepest layer of your skin. These concentrated serums allow for easy customization for what your focus is, whether it is wrinkle reduction, blemish control or skin brightening.
