What is the ideal temperature range for facial steaming?

The ideal temperature range for facial steaming is considered to be warm but not hot. This temperature allows for effective steam application that opens up the pores and promotes circulation without causing discomfort to the client. A gentle warmth helps to relax facial muscles and can enhance the penetration of products used during facial treatments.

Using steam that is too hot can lead to scalding or discomfort, which can negatively affect the client experience and potentially harm the skin. Conversely, temperatures below room temperature or at room temperature would not provide the benefits of facial steaming, such as improving skin hydration and aiding in the removal of impurities. Warmth is essential for the steam to effectively facilitate the desired skin benefits while ensuring comfort and safety for the client during the treatment.
