What effect does a facial steamer have on the skin's sebum?

Cleanses it
Closes it
Softens it
Thickens it

The correct answer is: Softens it

A facial steamer works by producing steam that helps to open up the pores on the skin. When the pores open up, it allows for easier removal of dirt, debris, and excess sebum (natural skin oil) from the skin. By softening the sebum, the facial steamer makes it easier for the skin to expel the excess oil, leading to a clearer complexion. This process does not cleanse the sebum, close it, or thicken it, making "Softens it" the correct answer.
