What Does Steaming Your Face Do?

Steam opens up your pores and helps loosen any buildup of dirt for a deeper cleanse. Opening up your pores also softens blackheads, making them easier to remove. It promotes circulation. The combination of warm steam and an increase in perspiration dilates your blood vessels and increases circulation.

Is it OK to take steam on face everyday?

A. No, you should not use steam on your face every single day. Although the benefits of steaming face are far too many, steaming everyday can prove to be slightly harsh as the pores will not have enough time to close. Therefore, limit the process to 10 minutes once a week for best results.

Should I wash my face after steaming?

After your steam session, rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a super soft towel. This is a great time to apply a facial mask and other skincare products, like a serum, as the steam makes the skin more permeable.
