What is the recommended duration for a facial steam treatment in a typical session?

The recommended duration for a facial steam treatment typically falls within the range of 6-10 minutes. This timeframe is optimal for gently opening the pores, allowing for the softening and loosening of impurities and excess oil without overstressing the skin.

Steaming for this duration supports skin hydration and prepares the skin for subsequent treatments, such as exfoliation and masks. Prolonged exposure to steam can lead to over-hydration, irritation, or a breakdown of the skin's barrier, which is why it's essential to adhere to the recommended timeframe. This duration strikes a balance, providing sufficient time for benefits without causing discomfort or adverse effects to the skin.
