What is an ionic facial steamer?
Ionic steam is made of nano-sized water molecules to hydrate and soften the skin’s surface. Smaller in size, ionic steam particles penetrate the layers of the skin for a deep, therapeutic massage and nourishing cleansing experience.
What does facial steaming do for my skin?
Steaming your face opens clogged pores while loosening unwanted buildup (dirt, oils, makeup) for a deeper cleanse. Steaming also helps decongest and detoxify the skin, fight bacteria and inflammation, and increase circulation.
How often should I use AIRA, and for how long?
Use AIRA two to three times a week for up to 15 minutes per session, following your user guide. The device automatically shuts off after 15 minutes or when the water tank is empty. Avoid consecutive sessions.
What kind of water should I use?
Use distilled water only. Tap and mineral water can leave deposits inside the device, affecting performance and shortening its lifespan. Fill between the “Min” and “Full” marks without overfilling.
Can I use essential oils with AIRA?
Yes—apply your favorite essential oil to the foam portion of an included basket and attach it to the nozzle before switching on. The three baskets let you keep different oils separate. Never add essential oils, herbs, or other liquids to the water tank.
Should I cleanse before or after steaming?
Start with freshly cleansed skin and remove makeup before your session. After steaming, follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer to complete your routine.
Can I exfoliate after steaming?
Steaming helps soften skin and loosen buildup before exfoliation. If exfoliating is part of your routine, follow your exfoliant’s directions and adjust to your skin’s tolerance. Avoid combining steam with harsh scrubs or intensive treatments.
How far should my face be from the nozzle?
Keep your face at least 10 inches (25 cm) away and close your eyes during your session. Position AIRA on a flat, stable surface and adjust the nozzle only while the device is switched off.
How do I remove the water tank?
With AIRA switched off, unplugged, and cool, gently press down on the water tank to release it, then lift it out. Unscrew the tank cap to refill and securely replace it before returning the tank to the device.
How do I clean and store AIRA?
Unplug AIRA and let it cool completely. Empty and clean the water tank after each use. Wipe the nozzle and exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Never immerse the device in water.
Is AIRA cordless or rechargeable?
AIRA plugs into a wall outlet and does not require batteries or charging. It is designed for compatible US household outlets.
