And while some of us might consider a steamer a waste of time and a potential hazard, professionals beg to differ because they don&#8217;t cost much and are easy to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">New York City dermatologist Dennis Gross tells ELLE USA, &#8220;By steaming, you&#8217;ve primed your face for exfoliation and targeted treatments. Ingredients like retinol and vitamin C will absorb deeper into the skin for even better results.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gross also recommends a serum and a moisturizer after a steaming session. &#8220;Hyaluronic acid is your best option,&#8221; he notes.&nbsp;&#8220;When you put on a moisturizer after steaming, you&#8217;re locking in the hydration. Those millions of molecules that were brought to your skin are now locked in.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How to use your steamer safely<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The steamer is a safe gadget to use, but before using your steamer, Healthline suggests you read the instructions that come with it (because let&#8217;s face it, how many of us do?). The site warns that a steam burn causes more damage a burn caused by boiling water, so it is important to play by the rules and follow the directions carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make sure you fill the steamer with the amount of water required. Goss advises using distilled water for this, &#8220;because tap water can have heavy metals that can affect the integrity of the steam itself,&#8221; and to keep the device from getting contaminated by a bacterial build-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep your face between 5 to 10 inches away from the steam and give yourself a minute break every two to three minutes to make sure your skin is adjusting properly to the steam and the heat. Also, steam just once a week, and for no longer than 10 minutes per session to get the most out of the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With so many on the market to purchase, we&#8217;ve rounded up our favourites:<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If facials are your thing, but you neither have the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13176,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[908],"tags":[224,2402,2403,2409,2404],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DO FACIAL STEAMERS REALLY WORK AND ARE THEY SAFE?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If facials are your thing, but you neither have the time (nor budget) to head to your favourite spa on a regular basis, this may be a good time to look\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DO FACIAL STEAMERS REALLY WORK AND ARE THEY SAFE?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If facials are your thing, but you neither have the time (nor budget) to head to your favourite spa on a regular basis, this may be a good time to look\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Front Row Edit by Cameron Tewson\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-07-05T18:49:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-07-13T23:25:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/siriano-models.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"768\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"432\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Cameron Tewson\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@camerontewson\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@camerontewson\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Cameron Tewson\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Cameron Tewson\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/#\/schema\/person\/b23592152dc2060239608f6d6cbf938f\"},\"headline\":\"DO FACIAL STEAMERS REALLY WORK AND ARE THEY SAFE?\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-07-05T18:49:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-07-13T23:25:04+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/\"},\"wordCount\":347,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/#\/schema\/person\/b23592152dc2060239608f6d6cbf938f\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/do-facial-steamers-really-work-and-are-they-safe\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/frontrowedit.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/siriano-models.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"beauty\",\"Face Steamer\",\"K Facial\",\"Rio Facial\",\"Sarah Chapman\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Beauty &amp;
