What type of water is required for use in a steamer?

Tap water
Distilled water
Spring water
Mineral water

The correct answer is: Distilled water

Using distilled water in a steamer is essential because it is purified and free from minerals and impurities typically found in tap or spring water. These minerals can create buildup within the steamer over time, leading to malfunctions or decreased efficiency. Distilled water ensures that the steam produced is clean and does not introduce any potential irritants or contaminants onto the skin during facial treatments. This is particularly important in esthetics, where the primary concern is the health and safety of the client's skin. Using alternatives like tap, spring, or mineral water may compromise the integrity of the steam and the overall effectiveness of the service being provided.
