Did you know that facial steaming is an excellent DIY(DO IT YOURSELF) treatment that steps up your skincare routine without having you to spend a fortune? Here are four amazing benefits of Facial Steaming that not many people know about!

  • It’s an all-natural cleaner:
    • Absorbing fresh water steam helps loosen your pores and extract any leftover dirt, sebum or buildup for a deeper cleanse. It softens the black and white heads making it easier to remove them without applying pressure.
  • It increases circulation:
    • Warm steam combined with an increase in sweat and perspiration dilates your blood vessels and improves circulation. This increase in blood flow nourishes and oxygenates your skin. The end result is a healthier looking, flushed skin.
  • It helps to absorb skincare products better:
    • Steam enhances the permeability of the skin, allowing it to absorb topical skin care products like moisturizers and serums more effectively. This means that skin care products applied after a steam work more effectively.
  • It enhances collagen production:
    • The increased blood flow that occurs during a steam facial encourages the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin appears firmer, wrinkle free and younger looking. Many anti-aging specialists throughout the world swear by facial steaming for vibrancy and glow.
