Magn!tone Steam Ahead
If you have read any of our previous Christmas present reviews then you will know we are huge fans of Magn!tone London, they are always coming up with new products to keep you looking beautiful. Big facial pores are not only unattractive, but make the skin look uneven and your foundation bumpy. The Magn!tone SteamAhead helps reduce the size of pores by deep cleaning them with mircosteam particles. Not only does it purge impurities from pores, it supercharges creams and cleansers, its suitable for use with oils and it help clean and hydrate the face. We found it very user friendly, you simply remove any make up, fill up the measuring cup with water, pour it into the chamber and fit the facial device on. You only need to use it for 5 minutes and used daily we notice brighter, refreshed skin and smaller pores. This makes the perfect gift, it’s easy to use and creates visible results.
