There are many ways to add moisture to the skin, but one of the most important ways to accomplish it is by using a facial steamer. Using steam is a natural skincare hack that assists in manipulating the amount of moisture absorbed by the skin and the products you apply. Therefore, facial steamers are an essential asset in salons to provide the skincare needs of the customer. Facial steamers increase the ability to brighten the skin, clear clogged pores, and improve blood circulation. A facial steamer is an extremely useful device in the salon that provides an extensive range of skincare benefits to those undergoing treatment.

Benefits of Using Facial Steamer in Salons:

1. Removes clogged and dead skin that is planted inside the pores.
2. Removes dirt, oils, and bacteria that are accumulated in the deep, lower layers of the skin.
3. Reduces blackheads and whiteheads that clog the pores and cause breakouts.
4. Moisturizes and hydrates your skin to ensure a better complexion.
5. Regenerates collagen and skin cells, making the skin look and feel younger.
6. Makes the skin sweat, causing small amounts of unwanted toxins in the body to leak out of the pores.
7. The heat from the steam increases blood circulation.
8. Unblocks the nasal passages and ensures easier breathing.
9. Promotes relaxation, which generates a calming effect on the nervous system

Cleaning and Maintenance of Facial Steamer:

Bacteria and mineral deposits start to build up over time if the facial steamer is used every day. If the machine is not cleaned regularly, the mineral deposits permeate the device and bacteria form on both the inside and outside of the steamer. The mineral deposits and the subsequent bacteria growth have the potential to cause blemishes and even severe skin infections. Therefore, it is essential for any salon offering facial steam cleansing to understand how to regularly clean and maintain their facial steamer.

Tips for Daily Cleaning of Facial Steamer:

1. Empty the water from the jar every night to allow the jar to dry completely before using it again.
2. Clean the rubber that is located around the rim of the jar every night to ensure no bacteria or mineral deposits have been planted.
3. Refill the steamer with fresh, distilled water before each client or before each use of the facial steamer. Do not use the same water two days in a row as it enforces minerals to build up.
4. Turn the steamer on to warm up before each customer or before each time you use the steamer.
5. Disinfect the body of the facial steamer every day, particularly the controls as well as the steamer arm.

Tips for Monthly Cleaning of Facial Steamer:

1. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to the glass jar along with distilled water. Add more vinegar if the mineral deposits are noticeable.
2. Turn on the steamer and allow it to heat up to the steaming temperature.
3. Let the steamer run for 4 to 5 minutes and then turn it off. Later, let it cool off for about 30 minutes.
4. Wipe down the heating element as well as the exposed metal surfaces with a clean cloth for removing the mineral deposits and mineral build-ups.
5. Empty the jar and refill it with clean, fresh distilled water. Steam up the facial steamer again for 4 to 5 minutes and then let it soak for about 30 minutes again.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance of Facial Steamers Result in:

1. Preventing odors from filtering into the system and air.
2. Preventing mold from forming and causing skin infections.
3. Increasing the lifespan of the facial steam cleaning system by years.
