Steamer Facial Cleaner

A facial steamer produces fine drops of steam that penetrate the pores of your face, and can remove excess oil or grime that can obstruct the pores. This can help reduce acne, as well as increase blood circulation, and moisturize and exfoliate the skin.

THE BENEFITS OF FACIAL STEAMING

You might wonder why you’d want to subject your face to hot steam. While steaming isn’t magic, it definitely can improve your skin’s health.

Here are just a few benefits of using a facial steamer on a regular basis:

• The warmth of the steam stimulates a light sweat, which helps flush impurities out of your pores.

• Steam provides a temporary boost of moisture to your skin, helping plump up fine lines.

• Increased blood flow from the heat gives you a healthy glow.

• The heat and humidity help soften the layer of dead skin cells topping your complexion, making it easier to exfoliate or wash them away.

• After steaming, your skin is more receptive to serums, moisturizers, and other facial treatments.

• By loosening the oil and grime that clogs your pores, steaming can help improve mild acne.

• Steaming softens blackheads, making them easier to remove.
   

Although it’s not necessarily a “beauty” benefit, using a facial steamer is also very relaxing. It’s nice to take a few minutes to do something just for yourself.

Spending time with a bit of warm, relaxing steam may be just the thing you need at the end of a long day!

HOW TO USE A FACIAL STEAMER

Steaming your face isn’t difficult. The following steps outline the basic procedure:

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, making sure to remove all makeup. Pat your face dry.

2. Fill the reservoir of your facial steamer with distilled water. This prevents the buildup of mineral salts inside your device.

3. Turn your steamer on, and wait for it to begin producing mist.

4. Hold your face a safe distance from the steamer. Your machine’s instructions will give specifics, but in general, your skin should be no closer than eight inches to the steam to avoid burns.

5. Steam your face for several minutes. In the beginning, aim for just three to five minutes. As you get used to the steaming process, you may be able to extend your sessions to ten minutes or more, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.

6. Check your face every few minutes during your steam session to be sure you aren’t excessively swollen or flushed.

7. When you’re done steaming, pat your face dry. Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin, blackheads, and other impurities.

8. Apply any desired serums or moisturizers.

9. Empty the steamer’s reservoir. Allow the unit to dry completely before storing it.
