What are the types of facial steamers and what are their functions

Facial steamer is a product that many people have used. It is a moisturizing product used to hydrate water. So what types of facial steamers are there? What are the functions of a facial steamer?

What are the types of facial steamers?

1. Cold spray

First, normal drinking water and tap water are passed through a physical water softening filter to separate calcium, magnesium and other ions in the water, remove impurities in the water, and then the filtered clean water is subjected to ultrasonic vibration to turn it into ultra-fine water mist. Finally, the water mist is diffused into the air through a pneumatic device. The water mist formed by cold spray is relatively low in temperature. In addition to being suitable for hydrating and moisturizing dry skin, it also has the effects of lowering skin surface temperature, shrinking pores, calming sun-exposed or allergic skin, and reducing inflammation and eliminating redness and swelling.

2. Thermal spraying

The principle of hot spray is similar to the traditional method of steaming noodles. It also needs to filter and remove impurities in the water first, but it is not ultrasonic atomization. Instead, it is heated by a heating tube and then guided to the steam outlet through a pneumatic device for spraying. The temperature of the hot spray steam surface is relatively high, which can open the pores, deeply cleanse, and also help promote cell metabolism. For dry skin, the steam temperature increases the skin temperature and accelerates local blood flow. After steaming, it can significantly improve skin complexion, remove yellowness and suppress spots. It feels refreshing and is particularly moisturizing.

3. Alternate between hot and cold

Some facial steamers have both hot and cold spray functions. The hot spray opens the pores and deeply cleanses, while the cold spray calms the skin and gently hydrates it. It has the most powerful functions and is user-friendly, suitable for all skin types.

What are the functions of a facial steamer?

Efficient hydration

Through technological means, water is converted into nano-scale, high-temperature mist particles. When used, it can open the pores and allow the nano water particles to be directly absorbed by the skin, replenishing water efficiently, safely and thoroughly. Compared with professional steam beauty treatments in beauty salons, it saves money and time, and has good results. It is not restricted by technology and can be done at home, in the office, or even when going out.

Deep Cleansing

Using the steam spray of a facial steamer to fumigate the facial skin can soften the hair follicles and keratinized cells, which is beneficial for removing dirt and keratinized cells deep in the hair follicles during cleansing and massage. It can also more thoroughly remove dirt and cosmetics from the skin, leaving the skin refreshed, smooth and delicate. It can reduce or eliminate melanin deposition in facial skin, prevent and treat facial pigmentation, and make facial skin smooth, fair and tender. In addition, after the skin is steamed with hot air, the skin's elasticity is enhanced and wrinkles are reduced.

Improve circulation

The nano-scale, high-temperature mist particles ejected by the facial steamer can improve the skin's microcirculation, enhance the nutrient supply to the skin, nerves, and blood vessels, and keep the skin rosy, shiny, and tender.

Promotes healing and regeneration

Since the nano-scale, high-temperature mist particles ionized by the facial steamer are rich in oxygen ions, the impact force generated during spraying helps to enhance the skin's absorption of oxygen ions. Under the action of its thermal effect, it can enhance the aerobic metabolism of the skin, increase the oxygen release of oxygenated hemoglobin in the tissue, improve the oxygen supply to the skin, reduce skin edema, exudation, congestion, itching, etc., and promote the healing of skin lesions and the regeneration of epithelial cells.

Sterilization and anti-inflammatory

The latest models of facial steamers are generally equipped with an ozone generator, which produces ozone when the instrument is working, and has a certain bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.

Refined pores

Most people think that long-term use of a facial steamer to moisturize will enlarge the pores. In fact, this is not the case. When using a facial steamer to moisturize, the heat effect generated by the instrument can open the pores in a short period of time and soften the dirt in the pores. If you use warm water to clean your face immediately after steaming, the dirt in the pores can be easily washed away (the cleaning effect will be better with a facial cleanser at this time). After washing, apply cold water to shrink the pores quickly, so that the pores will become smaller and smaller!

Okay, now you know what types of facial steamers there are.
