Facial steaming is a relaxing technique that cleanses and refreshes your skin. It is a critical step in doing a facial and is adopted in the skincare routines of many people. People steam their face to clean out their pores by loosening the dirt and debris clogged in the pores through the use of heat. It is great to use for acne-prone skin and will cleanse those deep, hard to reach crevices of the skin. Facial steaming can also be of a benefit to the skincare products you use on your face by improving product absorption. This opens your pores and absorbs beneficial ingredients in products more easily, ensuring that you are getting the full potential of your high-end products! A final reason you should steam your face is to improve blood circulation which can improve your skin’s ability to heal over time and overall health.

Be Careful

Although this skincare technique has a wide variety of health benefits, it is not meant for everyone especially if you have sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive skin or skin conditions such as rosacea or eczema, the heat will cause your skin to flush and become inflamed. This is due to the dilation of blood vessels which will trigger a flushed, reddish complexion.

Do not steam your face daily or else it could cause potential skin damage. You should be doing this once a week so you can give your skin some time to hydrate again. Steaming causes dryness of the skin if done too much. You don’t want to have cracked, damaged skin by overheating it!
