What are the benefits of hot water steaming your face

Many friends actually don’t understand the benefits of using hot water to steam their face, because they feel that doing so is ineffective. Using hot water to steam your face can not only deeply clean the dirt on the skin, but also properly hydrate the skin cells. This is more effective than using skin care products because such conditions are more acceptable to the cells.

The benefits of facial steamers In today's daily life, facial steamers have become a popular beauty product. So, what are the benefits of facial steamers?

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.
