I was steaming faces for way too long and didn't know it

For three years, I gave everyone a solid ten minute steam at the start of a facial, thinking it was the only way to really open pores. Then I saw a client with rosacea get super red and blotchy right after. Her skin looked angry, not prepped. I looked it up and realized steaming can actually make some conditions worse, especially for sensitive or inflamed skin. Now I only steam for maybe two minutes, and only if their skin can handle it. How do you guys adjust your steam time for different skin types?
