It is recommended not to use the device more than once a day. To start, use it two to three times per week and adjust according to your skin condition.

Can I use tap water in the tank?

It is preferable to use distilled or softened water. Tap water contains minerals that can form deposits and obstruct the steam flow.

Check that the tank has enough water and the device is properly turned on. If the problem persists, deposits may be obstructing the circuit: perform a monthly cleaning. If nothing changes, contact a professional.

Is the device suitable for all skin types?

No. People suffering from allergies, dermatitis, sunburn, injuries or acute illnesses should consult a doctor before use. Pregnant women should also seek medical advice.

No, do not add anything other than water (distilled or softened). Additives can damage the device or cause irritation.

How to adjust the direction of the steam?

The diffuser can be tilted upwards or downwards to steer the steam. Adjust it by holding the device by the main panel, without touching the steam directly.

What to do in case of burns or discomfort during use?
