What is the average recommended distance between the client's face and the steamer during a facial?

12-15 inches
15-18 inches
18-22 inches
8-10 inches

The correct answer is: 15-18 inches

The recommended distance between the client's face and the steamer during a facial is critical for ensuring both comfort and effectiveness. Positioning the steamer too close can lead to discomfort or skin irritation, while placing it too far away may not provide the desired hydrating benefits. In this case, the average recommended distance is 15-18 inches. This range allows the steam to envelop the face effectively, providing adequate warmth and moisture without causing harm. It also helps to open up the pores for better cleansing and enhances the absorption of any subsequent products applied. This understanding of distance is paramount for estheticians to create a safe and pleasant experience for their clients while maximizing the benefits of the facial treatment. When comparing this with other ranges, distances that are either too short or too long would not deliver the optimal steaming effect essential for skin preparation during facials.
