How far should the steamer be kept from the client?

12 inches
18 inches
24 inches
30 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The proper distance for keeping the steamer from the client is 18 inches. This distance is considered optimal for ensuring a safe and comfortable experience during the facial treatment. Maintaining this distance allows for the even distribution of steam, which can gently open up pores and prepare the skin for further treatments without causing discomfort or burns. If the steamer is placed too close to the client's face, it could lead to overheating or irritation, while placing it too far may result in ineffective treatment. Therefore, 18 inches strikes the right balance, enhancing the benefits of the steaming process while prioritizing client safety and comfort.
