SECAUCUS, NJ--(Marketwire - Nov 21, 2011) - Just in time for the holiday season, Panasonic announces the availability of its Facial Ionic Steamer, perfect for anyone seeking a gorgeous glow. This complete facial system helps restore natural radiance using nano-sized particle ionic steam which penetrates deeper into the skin to hydrate the sensitive areas of the face and neck, ideal for daily use in the dry winter months.

Over time, skin loses elasticity and the ability to renew itself and retain moisture, which can lead to lines, wrinkles, and an overall dull, lackluster appearance. With regular use, the Panasonic facial steamer stimulates skin to decrease the appearance of fine lines and restore the youthfulness that women crave.

When implemented into any skincare routine, this facial sauna effectively provides a clear, healthy complexion. After 4 weeks of daily use, the Panasonic Facial Ionic Steamer is clinically shown to improve wrinkles, skin texture, luster and moisture. With continual use, the steamer can quickly, easily and safely combat against the negative signs of aging.

A complete cycle takes only 11 minutes, making it easy to incorporate into your daily beauty regimen and achieve maximum long-term benefits. The nano-particle steam, which is 4,000 times finer than average steam, helps moisture penetrate deeper into the skin to open pores for a deep and thorough cleansing. This steamer is soap- and alcohol-free, non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and can be used with cleanser, toner, makeup remover and other skincare products.

"Spa visits can be expensive and facials typically range in price from $90 to $150, so we are bringing the spa experience home with this cutting-edge facial steamer," said Walter Taffarello, Group Marketing Manager, Wellness Group. "With continued use, our facial steamer can affordably help you restore and maintain healthy and beautiful skin in the comfort of your own home."

The Panasonic Facial Ionic Steamer (#EH 2426 N) is available at a suggested retail price of $399.99. Retailers include: [ www.Panasonic.com ], Frontgate and Hammacher Schlemmer.

This steamer joins Panasonic's line of women's beauty products, including epilators, electric shavers, trimmers, eyelash curlers and facial groomers. For additional information and to view the full array, visit [ www.panasonic.com/beauty ].
