How far should the facial steamer be positioned from the client's face?

12 inches
18 inches
24 inches
36 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The ideal distance for positioning a facial steamer from the client's face is 18 inches. This specific distance allows for optimal steam diffusion while ensuring the comfort and safety of the client. Positioning the steamer too close may lead to discomfort or irritation on the skin due to excessive heat or moisture. Conversely, being positioned too far away can reduce the efficacy of the steam treatment, making it less beneficial for skin hydration and preparation for subsequent treatments. In a facial treatment, maintaining the right distance is crucial for maximizing the benefits of facial steaming, which can help to open pores, soften skin, and facilitate deeper penetration of products applied afterward. This balance promotes an effective skincare routine while prioritizing the client's comfort.
