How long should you use a facial steamer for different skin types?

1. How long should I steam my oily skin with a facial steamer?

People with oily skin only need to use a facial steamer for 5-10 minutes. The time should not be too long, but the temperature can be adjusted higher appropriately. This is because people with oily skin use a facial steamer mainly to remove facial oil and then replenish skin moisture to prevent the skin from producing too much oil due to dryness. Steaming for too long will make the skin a little dry.

2. How long should I use a facial steamer for dry skin?

Since facial steamers have a better moisturizing effect, people with dry skin can use a facial steamer for a slightly longer time, 10-15 minutes is enough, but the temperature should not be set too high, so that dry skin can get enough water at once and relieve dry and rough skin conditions.

3. How long should I use a facial steamer for sensitive skin?

If you use a facial steamer for hot spray on sensitive skin, the use time should not be too long, preferably 3-5 minutes, and the temperature should not be too high, because the high-temperature and powerful steam will make it difficult for the skin to breathe and is somewhat irritating. Sensitive skin can easily develop allergic dermatitis if steamed with a facial steamer for a long time.

What happens if you steam your face for too long?

There is a suitable time for steaming your face with a facial steamer. Steaming will accelerate the metabolism of our skin. If you steam your face for too long or too frequently, it will lead to excessive facial metabolism and a pale complexion. Moreover, when using a hot spray facial steamer, the temperature is already high. The longer the facial steamer runs continuously, the higher the temperature of the water mist sprayed by the facial steamer will be. However, the skin is in a state of slowly heating up for a long time, and may not feel the excessively high temperature for a while, which can easily cause burns to the skin.

How to use a facial steamer

First of all, the function of a facial steamer is to open and unclog the pores through hot steam, help the skin detoxify, speed up blood circulation, remove dirt, eliminate dark spots and wrinkles, and make the facial skin rosy, delicate, white and translucent.

Be sure to wash your face before using a facial steamer. If the dust and dirt on the skin surface are not cleaned before steaming, they may enter the skin as the pores open, having the opposite effect. When using a facial steamer, be sure to add cold boiled water to the water tank and avoid using tap water, because tap water contains more impurities and is not good for the skin. During use, be sure to keep a good distance between your face and the spray nozzle. If it is too close, you may get burned, and if it is too far, it may not be effective. Generally, it is more appropriate to keep the distance at about 20cm.

After steaming your face, the pores are open. If you use a facial cleanser with stronger cleaning power to do a deep cleansing, the dirt in the pores can be easily cleaned out. After cleaning the dirt in the pores, apply a cold towel to your face to shrink the pores and prevent dirt from entering again. After applying, do routine maintenance, apply toner and moisturizer.

This is an introduction to the usage of facial steamers for different skin types. Facial steamers can be used for beauty treatments, but they should not be used for too long.
