When you want clear, glowing skin, keeping your pores clean is an absolute necessity. Unfortunately, it's pretty easy for dirt, oil and makeup to form stubborn clogs that can lead to acne, blackheads or just uneven texture. A steam facial can help open up your pores, so they release the debris that's clogging them and allow treatment products to penetrate your skin more easily. Using a facial steamer is fairly easy, but follow instructions to avoid burns or other irritations. For the steam to really deep clean your pores, prepare your skin before you use your facial steamer.

A soft, shiny, supple, and glowing skin is the dream of every girl whether aged or not. And so we do almost all possible things to make our facial skin shiny and glowing. Having a clear and blemish free skin is the best way to look beautiful. So it is very necessary to eliminate dirt and toxins from your face to prevent the pores from being clogged and keep out blemishes away.

If you're someone who arrives early to spa appointments to maximize your steam-room time — or if you've ever simply enjoyed the warmth wafting out of a cup of just-poured tea — the concept of facial steaming is probably pretty appealing to you. Touted as a gentle, natural alternative to harsh exfoliating treatments , herbal facial steams are essentially teas for your face no, you don't drink them. They look like potpourri and are formulated from a mix of dried herbs; you scoop some into a bowl, pour boiling water over it, drape a towel over your head, and allow all that steam envelop you for about five minutes. In addition to supposedly aiding gentle exfoliation, facial steaming can supposedly help allow active ingredients better penetrate the skin. Tevelin suggests using the steam twice a week after cleansing and also recommends smoothing a face oil over skin first, which will help the ingredients penetrate.
