Benefits of a steam bath for the face: 5 benefits of a home cosmetic procedure

Buy a professional vaporizer (vapazon) for cosmetic procedures

A professional cosmetology facial vaporizer is specialized equipment used in beauty centers, medical centers and even barbershops. Using devices, they perform skin care procedures: preparing the face for cleansing and other cosmetic procedures and manipulations. A steaming machine (additionally known as a facial sauna
) is an indispensable tool for a cosmetologist, which allows you to steam your face in 10 minutes, prepare the skin for peeling or perform massage procedures.

The main function of a facial steamer is to generate steam, and you can add various ingredients for skin beauty, such as aroma oils. Therefore, the skin is not only cleansed, but also saturated with useful components, and a slight lifting occurs. The device can be used to treat different areas of the skin; its main purpose is to steam the facial skin.

Thanks to the use of such a device, the quality of skin cleansing significantly improves and the skin is steamed. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that a facial steamer is included in the mandatory list of equipment that is required for licensing.

A facial steamer, which you can buy in our online store, is suitable for caring for any skin type and is widely used for the face, décolleté, body and head. It is worth noting that a facial steamer is a mandatory device for licensing medical activities. We also note that for barbershops (in men's hairdressing salons) this device is used as a beard steamer. Note that vaporization, as a household procedure, has a lot of both positive and negative reviews (some masters save time, so it’s easier for them to prepare the skin using a chemical steaming agent). A distinctive feature of the vaporizer is safety, the use of ozone (destruction of microbes), and the ability to use oils.

Facial sauna - contraindications

There are also contraindications to using a facial sauna, although they are few. Firstly, people with couperose skin should avoid paired sessions. Fragile vessels can be damaged by hot fumes.

Next, allergy sufferers are not recommended to do inhalations with the addition of essential oils, as this can lead to shortness of breath or the appearance of a rash. Therefore, if you suffer from chronic skin diseases or ailments, consult your doctor before using a facial sauna.

Also remember that facial saunas should not be used too often, as this can cause irritation and damage to the delicate epidermis. If, however, you feel weak or dizzy during the steam room, stop treatment immediately.

Features of the device operation

How do steamers work?

A cosmetic vaporizer, also called a vaporizer, is a heated tank filled with distilled water. The steam created by evaporating water is directed to the treated areas of the skin. Maintenance with such a device is greatly simplified.

Before purchasing a vaporizer, it is worth studying the possible versions of the devices. The following devices are available:

• Portable device (small dimensions of the product allow it to be placed on the table)
• Floor-standing (professional) steamer (stationary hairdressing salons, cosmetology and medical models).

Facial skin care before and after the procedure

Before steaming your face, it is enough to thoroughly cleanse your skin. Special cosmetics will help with this. For example, foam for washing.

During the procedure, I do not recommend applying creams or masks to your face - they prevent sweating

Unless you can cover your lips with a very thin layer of balm. For some people they dry out too much.

Another exception is facial peeling. Enzyme peeling is especially good in this case, because enzymes really like moisture and warmth. When performing a similar procedure at home, you need to cover your face for about 5 minutes. Well, for example, with a warm, damp towel. If you use a steam sauna, you don’t have to cover your face with a towel. You just need to apply enzyme peeling to the skin and sit over the steam for about 5 minutes.

Yes, if you want to additionally use a scrub, choose a product with soft exfoliating granules. Only use it a day after steam treatments.

After steaming, if time permits, make a moisturizing or alginate mask. They replenish moisture deficiency well.

And the final stage after steaming is applying serum or cream. If you are going to go outside later, remember the rule of applying cosmetics. For example, in winter it is recommended to apply the cream 40-60 minutes before going outside. Therefore, steam your face when you don’t need to rush anywhere. Choose a time on the weekend when you can sit quietly at home and enjoy self-care.

The Saving Power of Herbs

You can use various accessories for facial care in the sauna. Herbs are some of the most effective, but they should be selected according to your skin type. The most suitable products for a specific treatment:

• Facial cleansing – To cleanse your face, place nettle or linden leaves in the sauna as they are effective in opening pores and helping remove impurities.
• Relief - lavender, lemon balm, thyme or mint are good for relieving irritation. These herbs soothe pain and relieve facial tension.
• Stimulation of blood circulation - thanks to stimulation of blood circulation, facial skin ages more slowly. Inhalations with nettle and rosemary can improve the condition of the skin and even hair. They are suitable for people over 25 years of age.
• Oily skin - each skin type requires special care. For oily skin, the herbs horsetail, yarrow and sage are used to dry out imperfections and reduce sebum secretion.
• Sensitive and dry skin - cornflower, parsley and sorrel will help moisturize even the driest skin. In addition, they have a soothing and antibacterial effect.

Attractive prices for vaporizers allow them to be used in large cosmetology companies and in small private offices. In Moscow, the price for a procedure in beauty salons starts from 500 rubles. The approximate duration of facial steam treatment is 5-20 minutes and is selected individually by the cosmetologist. Vaporization is an excellent procedure, after which a microcurrent therapy device is used.

How can you save on buying a vaporizer?

The modern world of the beauty industry allows you to save a lot when choosing devices and equipment for your center. Beauty no longer requires sacrifice and large financial expenses. We want to show you a combined type of equipment - a cosmetology combine or stand (includes 4 functions or more).

Effect of inhalation using essential oils

In addition to using the facial sauna purely for pampering purposes, we can also use it as an inhalation equipment. In this case, you can use it in two ways - inhale pure water vapor or with the addition of essential oils. The choice depends on our preferences and needs. Water vapor without any additives effectively relieves nasal congestion and suppresses allergy symptoms.

When deciding to use a sauna with essential oils, it is worth checking whether our model allows it. Steam appliances do not always have a separate container for aromatic oil. However, if we can use an oil, it is worth choosing one that suits our individual needs.

Of course, all sauna aromas affect the condition of our skin. Therefore, it is worth choosing an oil that suits our skin type. For skin with acne and irritation, tea tree or thyme oil will have a beneficial effect. But rose oil will be useful for people with skin that requires regeneration and signs of aging.

Aromatic inhalations also have a very beneficial effect on our respiratory tract. Forest-scented oil: Pine, fir, spruce, or eucalyptus can be a good choice, especially for people who struggle with infections (such as sinus infections) or rhinitis. Oils of this type have a sharp, fresh scent that clears stuffy noses and disinfects the respiratory tract.

Operating principle

Steam facials have long been used to cleanse the skin. But if our grandmothers used to heat water in a saucepan and hold their heads above it, now everything has become much simpler. Special devices have been created that allow the procedure to be carried out quickly and safely.

The device consists of two main parts:

• water tank with heating element;
• face bowl.

The principle of operation of a facial steam bath is simple. The liquid in the tank heats up and begins to evaporate. The steam comes out through special holes into the bowl, into which the face is placed. There is no risk of getting burned.

The principle of operation of the sauna is based on heating water in the tank and its further evaporation

Under the influence of heat, pores open, plugs are removed, toxins and dirt come out. At the same time, metabolic processes are normalized, the skin is filled with oxygen and moisture. If you add herbal decoctions or essential oils to the water, you can enhance the effect of the sauna and give it bactericidal and other properties.

Manufacturers, knowing the benefits of steam baths for the face, use the principle of their action to create their products. For example, the Garnier company has released a product such as a cleansing gel sauna for the face. This mask also opens pores and cleanses them, but does so less effectively than an electric device.

How to choose the right device?

A steam sauna requires the use of a special device, the purchase of which must take into account a number of characteristics.

Which device is better to buy in an online store?

Vaporizers for beauty salons and cosmetologists

Facial cleansing is one of the most popular services in the field of modern cosmetology. And many beauty centers, clinics, and salons use special devices with which this manipulation is carried out. Among such equipment is a vaporizer, the price of which depends on the model of the device, functionality, quality, as well as the type of housing construction.

The basic purpose of the device is to pre-prepare the skin for subsequent beauty procedures. Essentially, a facial vaporizer is a device that uses steam to treat the surface of the dermis. For this purpose, the device has a reservoir - a container filled with various solutions, in which, under the influence of high temperatures, heating occurs and vapors are released. The solution with which the tank of the device is filled is heated to the required temperature using an electronic sensor built into the design.
