Does the cold spray of the facial steamer hydrate the skin?

Cold spray is not mainly for hydration, but it also has a hydrating effect. A facial steamer can relax and shrink pores and replenish moisture. It can be used with either cold or hot spray. But hot spray is mainly for efficient hydration and deep cleansing; cold spray is mainly for calming the skin, killing bacteria and reducing inflammation, and can also lighten skin spots.

The difference between hot and cold spray in facial steamer

1. Applicable skin types

The hot spray of the facial steamer is more suitable for dry skin and oily skin, because when people with dry skin use the hot spray, the ionized steam contains a large amount of oxygen ions, which can increase the temperature of the skin surface, accelerate skin microcirculation, and provide the skin with sufficient moisture and nutrients. For oily skin, using a facial steamer to spray hot water can soften epidermal cells, expand pores, promote skin metabolism, and remove excess oil from the skin.

The cold spray of the facial steamer is more suitable for people with sensitive skin, because hot spray on sensitive skin will irritate the facial nerves, while the cold spray of the facial steamer is less irritating, can lower the temperature of the skin surface, and has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect.

2. Effect

The effect of hot spray from a facial steamer is efficient hydration and deep cleansing. Because the temperature of the hot spray is relatively high, it can help the skin open the pores, allowing more water to be absorbed by the skin. It can also promote skin metabolism, discharge oil from the pores, and make the skin become hydrated and rosy.

The cold spray of the facial steamer can calm the skin, kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, and can also lighten skin spots. And because of the temperature, cold spray can shrink the skin and tighten the skin when sprayed on the face. Persistent use of cold spray on the face steamer can inhibit the production of melanin in the skin and has a good effect on lightening dark spots on the skin surface.

3. Usage time

The general usage time of the hot spray of a facial steamer is about 8-10 minutes. Steaming the face for too long will cause damage to the skin, and symptoms such as pale and dry face will appear.

The cold spray of a facial steamer can be used for up to twenty minutes. Because cold spray is gentler and safer than hot spray, the use time of cold spray can be slightly longer.
