Can a facial steamer be used as a humidifier? What is the difference between them?

Humidifiers and facial steamers are two different types of skincare equipment that moisturize the skin in different ways. So, specifically,'s the difference between a facial steamer and a humidifier? Can a facial steamer be used as a humidifier?

      The principles, effects, and targets of steamers and humidifiers are different. Common ultrasonic humidifiers atomize water into mist through high-frequency vibration, but facial steamers use the principle of heating to evapor water and produce steam. The direct target of the facial steamer is the skin, which moisturizes the skin, while the target of the humidifier is the external environment. It the humidity of the air to reduce the loss of skin moisture.

       A facial steamer can be used as a humidifier, but it is not as effective as a humidifier. Moreover, the water capacity of a facialer is relatively small, not only is the amount of steam less than that of a humidifier, but also the duration is relatively short. Using a facial steamer cannot achieve a humidifying effect on the indoor air, so although a facial steamer can be used as a humidifier, it is not recommended to do so.

 So it's still recommended to use the two products separately. If you want to use it specifically for facial skin care and beauty, then choose facial steamer, a humidifier can't be used as a facial steamer. And if you want to increase the humidity of the air, increase the moisture content in the, improve the dry environment, and also improve people's state in a dry environment, avoid the loss of body moisture, and relieve respiratory discomfort and other situations, then choose aifier. 

 However, remember that a humidifier can't be used as a facial steamer. Because the water vapor evaporated from the facial steamer is water ions water ions are very small and are easily absorbed by the skin, and the water vapor sprayed out by the facial steamer is hot, which makes absorption easier. However, the water atomized by the humidifier through high-frequency vibration are more difficult for the skin to absorb. 

 If you need to humidify the indoor air, it is not recommended to choose an ultrasonic humidifier because ultrasonic humidifiers cannot directly use water, otherwise it is easy to cause "secondary pollution" of the air. You can choose a mist-free humidifying product, which is healthier and safer to use, and-free humidifying products can also directly use tap water for humidification. While paying attention to the skin, you should also pay more attention to your health
