The pros and cons of steaming your face

Using steam to steam your face is a habit that many of my friends have. Facial steamers are also very common skin care appliances. There are advantages and disadvantages when steaming your face. The advantage is that it has many good effects on the skin, such as increasing moisture, cleaning dirt, and preventing many things. The disadvantage is that you may get burned by steam, so you must pay attention to the distance.

1. 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.

2. Deep cleaning . 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.

3. 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.

4. Promote 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.

5. Kill bacteria and reduce inflammation . 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.

6. Refine 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!

Disadvantages of facial steamer

As people's living standards are getting better and better, the types of facial steamers on the market are dazzling. Although facial steamers are becoming more and more popular among female friends, what are the disadvantages of relying on facial steamers for a long time? Next, let us learn about the disadvantages of using facial steamers.

Because facial steamers are used for cosmetic procedures with the aid of instrument spray or even boiling water, safety and comfort cannot be ignored. To ensure safety, the spray conditions should be closely observed at all times during use. The amount of water in the container must not exceed the water level warning line to prevent the boiling water from suddenly spraying out and scalding the skin, which may cause burns to the skin or even damage skin tissue, causing permanent facial damage. Therefore, it must be used with caution and in a timely manner; the whole body should be relaxed during fumigation, and attention should be paid to the unobstructed flow of the instrument to avoid uneven spraying or insufficient heating that affects the nursing effect as well as the mood and feelings during the nursing process.
