Why doesn't the facial steamer produce mist? How to use the facial steamer

A facial steamer can open the pores through hot air and reduce water molecules to nano size to ensure skin hydration. After steaming, the skin feels hydrated. However, there are also many people whose facial steamers do not produce mist when used. What’s going on?

Why is there no mist coming out of the facial steamer?

The facial steamer may not produce mist due to one or more of the following reasons, such as the air outlet of the machine is blocked by scale; the atomizer is broken; there is water accumulated on the atomizer; the water inside is gone; or there is a problem with the contact of the socket.

How to fix a facial steamer that doesn't produce mist

1. The air outlet is clogged with scale: use a bamboo stick to clear it, and then remember to use citric acid to clean the scale regularly.

2. The atomizer is broken: You can only ask the manufacturer to replace the atomizer.

3. There is water on the atomizer: wipe off the water.

4. The water inside is gone: add water.

5. Contact problem: Check if the socket is loose. If so, tighten it.

How to use a facial steamer

1. Cleansing: Before using a facial steamer, you must first clean your face. Use facial cleanser to remove as much dirt and grease as possible from your face. If you have makeup on, you must remove it. Although a facial steamer can cleanse the skin, if there is too much oil on the face, it is likely to be absorbed into the skin when the pores open, which will be bad for the skin.

2. Add distilled water or purified water: Pour distilled water or purified water into the water container of the facial steamer, but do not use tap water, because tap water has not been sterilized and the impurities in it are not good for the skin when sprayed on the face.

3. Adjust the distance: After adding, place the facial steamer at a suitable distance from the face. Generally, a distance of 20-30 cm is enough. The main thing is that the face should feel the right temperature. If it is too close, it is easy to burn the face. If it feels a little hot, move away from it quickly. However, people with slow skin reactions are better to keep a distance from it at the beginning to avoid accidentally burning the skin.

4. Adjust the time: It is more appropriate to use a facial steamer to steam your face for about ten minutes. This time is enough to fully hydrate and cleanse the skin. If the face is steamed for too long, it will cause the moisture in the skin to be lost. If you have sensitive skin, the steaming time should be shortened to no more than five minutes.

5. Cleansing: Because the facial steamer can open the pores and clean the dirt, you can wash your face immediately with a cleansing facial cleanser after steaming your face, so that the dirt in the pores and on the surface of the skin can be thoroughly cleaned away, which will have a good deep cleansing effect.

6. Cold compress: After steaming your face and cleaning your skin, it is best to wash your face with cold water or apply a cold towel to your face, because the hot air from the facial steamer will open the pores of the skin, and the cold compress can shrink the expanded pores, preventing dirt from entering the pores, and can also achieve the effect of refining the pores.

7. Skin care: The last step after using the facial steamer is skin care, so as to achieve the maximum effect of skin care. You can apply a facial mask, or you can directly apply moisturizing essence and other skin care products in order, and massage appropriately. This ends the use of the facial steamer.
