How to Use a Foam Pump to Create Rich Foam for Cleansers?

Understand Foam Pumps

Foam pumps have a unique technology that helps them mix a liquid cleanser with air. They don’t work like regular pumps because they have a double-chamber that pulls air in while they dispense a product. This creates a light and airy foam. BEYAQI foam pumps have double chambers and advanced locking mechanisms to help prevent leaking in storage. These pumps create a positive and fun cleansing experience because they create foam the same way every time. 

Choose the Best Cleanser for Foam Pumps

Some cleansers do work with foam pumps. Liquid water-based and low-viscosity cleansers like gentle cleansers for the face, body washes, and hand soaps work best. Cleansers that have thicker textures as well as oil-based cleansers. Those will just clog up the internal pump mechanisms. Best case scenario, pick a product with keyword phrases like foaming or compatible with foam pump. If the cleanser you like is too thick, you might want to add a bit of purified water to the cleanser ( 3 parts water to 1 part cleanser) to keep cleaning effectiveness while getting a more liquid consistency.

How to Use a Foam Pump

Most foam pumps are locked when you buy them to prevent spills. To start, unlock the foam pump by either twisting or flipping the lock (depending on the pump model). With the pump locked, hold the bottle upright and press the pump head. This will not dispense foam. Repeat until you feel the initial press require less force, as this will mean the pump is primed. This may take 2 or 3 presses. Once you are able to press without a lot of force, you will be able to dispense foamy cleanser. Release the press and enjoy the foam! Use this foam for cleansing, which can simply be applied to the skin as is. Use the foam to cleanse the skin by massaging with the foam in a circular motion, then rinse with lukewarm water. After each session, remember to lock the pump to avoid accidental spills and cross-contamination with the foam pump. 

foam pumps dispense foam naturally the gentler you are with the pump, so adjust your speed until you find the right speed for thicker, cooler foam. 

How To Get the Best Foam

Some tricks may help produce the ideal foam. First, clean and remove any dirt or residue on the pump head by wiping with a damp cloth. Secondly, press the foam pump button with a steady rate and avoid rapid presses if you are after thicker foam. Third, cleansing with lukewarm water as this activates the foaming agents to produce better foam. Also, dose your foam carefully. 1 pump at a time is enough to cleanse effectively and prevents dense foam, which is hard to rinse off.

Foam Pump Maintenance

To keep your foam pumps rinsed out, maintain your foam pump every one to two weeks. The foam pump head can be removed and rinsed under warm water to prevent clogging. The pump head can be reused for 3-6 months, so long as you’re washing and rinsing it out every so often. If your pump becomes difficult to press down, or won’t dispense foam, it would be appropriate to soak the head in warm soapy water for 10 minutes, and then re-attach it after rinsing. To keep the foam pump stored, keep it sealed, and store in a cupboard/chest that is away from heat and sunlight as heat can be harmful to the pump. If you bring the pump to travel, make sure the pump is closed all the way to avoid foam and liquid from leaking.
