I was steaming faces for years before a client in Dallas said her skin felt tight and dry after

I realized I was holding the steamer way too close, like 6 inches away, for way too long. Anyone have a good rule for timing and distance based on skin type?

The real trick is steaming right after double cleansing not before.

Holding it that close is basically cooking the skin. A good rule is to keep the steamer about 12 to 18 inches away from the face. How long do you usually steam for now?

My aunt used to hold a towel over a bowl of hot water, and she swore by it for clearing her sinuses. She'd do it for about ten minutes, but her face would be bright red afterwards. Makes me wonder if that old method was any better than these gadgets.
