6. Using the device
This device is intended only for use on the human face.
Using the facial sauna provides an ideal basis for cosmetic facial care. The skin of your face is pre-
pared optimally for further treatments such as deep cleansing, moisturising, face masks etc.
Beauty salons very often begin facial treatments with a steam treatment. The invigorating steam
increases the skin circulation, the pores are opened and impurities are removed more easily.
You can thus provide the perfect basis for every kind of facial care. The skincare products pen-
etrate deep into the skin through the opened pores, thus optimising their action.
6.1 Operation
Place the device on a flat, firm, level and water-insensitive surface or on a table.
Use the measuring cup to fill the device‘s water container with water. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum filling level.
You should never fill the container directly under running water but only use the measuring cup
that comes with it. The water volume at maximum filling level is enough for about 20 minutes use.
Do not use oils, herbs or other aromatic substances as a substitute for water but only added to
adequate water filling.
As well as the facial mask, there is also a special attachment for the nose.
Fix the desired steam mask onto the basic unit by turning it.
Ensure that the mask engages firmly with the knobs.
6.2 Using the facial sauna
Uncoil the cable fully. Plug into the socket. Then turn the switch clockwise until the red indicator
lights up. Turn the switch first to position “2“ in order to speed up heating. After about 5 minutes,
steam begins to rise. Turn the switch back to position “1“ to reduce the steam output.
adjustable steam outlet:
You can also regulate the strength of the steam outlet by turning the steam disc.
When the steam outlet is closed, the steam comes out of the steam valve which is located on the back
of the device or mask. The water heating phase can also be shortened by closing the steam disc.
To avoid burns, never touch the steam outlet directly and ensure that the steam can come out of
the valve freely.
Now sit down in front of the device. Bend forward until your face is above the mask.
If the steam effect is perceived as too hot, increase the distance to avoid burns.
caution:
During the treatment, you should always turn the switch back to position “1“.
Do not keep your face too close to the mask as otherwise burns can occur because of the inten-
sity of the steam.
When you want to stop using the device or the water has evaporated, turn the switch back to posi-
tion “0“. The device‘s indicator goes out.
Rinse your face with cold water after use. Then apply a face cream or mask. The opened pores let
the active ingredients penetrate deep into the skin.
Do not use the facial sauna for more than 20 minutes per day. Using it 2–3 times a week is recom-
mended.
6.3 Use of medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances
The aroma attachment enables you to use medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances
as part of an aromatherapy treatment. This is the best way for medicinal herbs, oils and other aro-
matic substances that mix with the steam to exert their effect. However, no solutions containing
salt should be used.
Only use medicinal herbs, oils and other aromatic substances that are intended and suitable for
use with a steam mask and are licensed for this by the producer of these substances.
