What is the recommended distance for a facial steamer from oily skin?

The recommended distance for a facial steamer from oily skin is about 10 inches (25cm). This distance allows for effective steaming while minimizing the risk of irritation. Steam helps to open up pores and facilitate the removal of excess oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin. At this distance, the steam can effectively penetrate the skin without causing discomfort or excessive heat, which could lead to adverse reactions, especially on oily skin types that may be more sensitive.

Steaming from too close can increase the risk of irritation and dehydration of the skin, while being too far away may not provide the necessary benefits of the steam treatment. Therefore, the 10-inch distance strikes the right balance for optimal results when treating oily skin.
