I have a steamer stand up one,but have been afraid to use it!!
i got it from my lecturer at college and it was going cheap,so i thought what the heck......
Some clients do request it,especially clients that ive had that have experienced Dermalogica skin treatments...
I personally use hotor warm towels from my hot cabbi ...but i know this would not br practical for mobiles...
I would not use it for clients who have acne rosacea or broken capillaries....but now the subjects been brought up i may just get my steamer out again...

If you have one then go for it.No need to be afraid of it.As long as you keep it the correct distance from the face,only have on for set amount time and dont leave your client whilst it's working then nothing should go wrong.

Check for all your contra-indications and away you go.

iuse a steamer it has an option for ozone i was always taught to use ionised water instead of putting ozone on, but i do keep it on for the first couple of minutes. in my luxury facial i do it for ten mins after the deep cleanse and prior to massage and masks. i got my new steamer for £30 at excel its a little chrome coloured portable one works really well, might not last forever but for that price i'm not too bothered x

I dont' like to steam, i think there are people that love it and people you hate it. I use hot towels heated in what is actually just a vegetable steamer! I soak the towels in water with a bit of essential oil first and then put them in the steamer to keep them hot. Always carful not to burn myself though, somehow managed it this afternoon, and silently screamed! Client was none the wiser, will turn the tempurature down a bit next time!!

IM sorry Kooky but i had to chuckle at your comment.....im even laughing now
Thats happened to me on several occasions when my mitts are soooooo hot and im like an indian performing a war dance while my client is snoozing on the couch....it only happens when ive got LOADS of mitts in the hot cabbi and the temp just rockets i think!

i bought a mobile steamer after my stand up one stoped working very pleased and had no troubles and it does not take up alot of space .I only use the ozone to see where the steam is going then switch back to the steam function.

I steam as part of my facial treatments and also have the ozone option but do not use it as was also told it is now illegal. I would recommend using one as a mobile therapist as my clients love it. I believe you should still give the best treatments as a mobile therapist.

However, I have not used the hot towel system since college but I dont think it is as effective for someone with conjested skin.

These are just my thoughts, hope that helps x
