Why can't you use a facial steamer every day? Excessive hydration is harmful to the skin

Why can't a facial steamer be used every day? As a skin hydrating instrument, a facial steamer achieves the hydrating effect by directing steam to the face. However, the steam is hot at this time. Long-term or excessive use will cause excessive skin irritation and affect the skin.

Why can’t you use a facial steamer every day?

Although a facial steamer can replenish a large amount of moisture to the skin in a short period of time, using it every day will also lead to a decrease in the skin's ability to lock in moisture. If you have sensitive skin, it will make the skin more sensitive and more prone to allergies. If a facial steamer is used every day, it will accelerate the skin's metabolism. Artificial intervention in metabolism will inevitably make the skin more fragile. Therefore, the facial steamer cannot be used every day.

The impact of daily facial steaming

Excessive metabolism

A facial steamer can promote skin metabolism. If you use it every day, it will cause excessive skin metabolism, making the facial skin pale and abnormally pale, and the facial steamer will lose its moisturizing and skin care effect.

Reduces the skin's ability to clean itself

A facial steamer can help open the pores of the skin and clean the oil and dirt in the pores of the skin. However, if the facial steamer is used excessively for a long time, the skin will become dependent on it, causing the skin's own cleansing ability to decrease and gradually weaken, making the skin more fragile.

Weakens the skin's ability to lock in moisture

Although a facial steamer can provide a large amount of moisture to the skin in a short period of time, it is the skin that has the final say on whether it can lock in the moisture. Excessive use of a facial steamer will make the skin more fragile and the skin's own ability to lock in moisture will be reduced, which will fail to achieve the effect of hydrating the skin.

People with sensitive skin are advised to use facial steamers less often

People with sensitive skin are generally advised to use facial steamers less often. Excessive use of facial steamers will make the skin more fragile and therefore more sensitive. If you have allergic skin or allergic dermatitis, it is recommended to use it less or not at all.

How often should you use a facial steamer?

It is generally recommended to use a facial steamer once a week or two weeks. This frequency can fully exert the hydrating and beauty effects of the facial steamer, and will not cause skin problems due to excessive steaming. It can maintain normal skin metabolism and keep the skin fully hydrated.
