Pro tip: I was steaming faces for way too long and a client's skin told me

I had a regular come in last week for a facial and after my usual 10 minute steam, her cheeks looked way more red than normal. She mentioned it felt a little hot, and I realized I'd been using the same timing on everyone. Do you adjust your steam time based on skin type, or stick to a standard protocol?

My old boss drilled into us to start at 5 minutes for sensitive skin and only go up to 8 for oily or tough skin. I learned the hard way too, had a client with rosacea and we had to cool her down with a chilled mask for ages. It's super easy to get into a rhythm and forget to check the clock.

Ugh, been there, it's the worst feeling.
