You don’t need to spend a lot of money on facials at the spa to enjoy the benefits. You only need to use ingredients that are readily available at home.
Here are the benefits of evaporating water to the face.
Clean the pores
Steam opens up facial pores and helps loosen buildup of dirt for a deeper cleanse. Opening up the pores also softens blackheads, making them easier to remove. One of the best ways to clean facial pores is to evaporate water on your face.
When sweat flows from the skin, it removes dirt, dead skin cells and other debris that may be trapped in the pores to the surface of the skin. This allows dirt to be removed easily.
Improve circulation
The combination of warm steam and increased sweating dilates blood vessels and improves circulation. This increased blood flow nourishes the skin and provides oxygen. The result is a natural, healthy glow.
Removes the bacteria and cells that cause acne
Opening up the pores allows the release of dead skin cells, bacteria, and other impurities that cause acne. Clogged pores are one of the main factors causing acne, and can lead to infection and severe skin irritation.
The warm steam causes the face to sweat which opens the pores and helps soften the surface layer of dead skin cells and releases impurities that can cause breakouts.
Remove blackheads
Our skin naturally produces sebum which protects and lubricates the skin. This naturally occurring oil is produced by the sebaceous glands to lubricate the skin and hair. When sebum is trapped under the surface of the skin, it creates a breeding ground for bacteria and causes pimples and blackheads. When steam is applied to the face, it softens the blackhead plug, gently releasing it from the crevices of the follicle.
Helps hydrate skin
Steam moisturizes the skin by helping to increase oil production. This effect naturally moisturizes the face. Evaporating water on your face can help treat dry and flaky skin.
Helps skin absorb skin care products more effectively
Steam increases the permeability of the skin, allowing it to better absorb topical treatments. Once the pores are open and the dirt and debris removed, clean pores can now better absorb the products you use, such as face masks or serums.
Build collagen and elastin
The increased blood flow experienced during facial steam increases collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, younger looking skin. Collagen is responsible for producing skin cells that replace dead cells. Collagen is the regenerative part of the skin. This keeps the skin glowing, supple, and youthful.
Calm down
The warm feeling on the face will relax the skin. Add some soothing scents using spices or essential oils for aromatherapy to bring the steam to a calming level.
Clears nasal congestion
Steam can help relieve the stuffy nose and headaches that often accompany it. Adding certain essential oils to the steam can increase the effect.
Skin detox
When you sweat in a steam room or take a hot detox bath, your body sweats and releases toxins. This also applies to the face, doing face steaming is a great way to release toxins that can cause imbalances in the skin. Evaporation can also lift the remaining makeup residue on the face.
There are several ways you can enjoy this versatile skin care at home. Here’s how:
Evaporating water with a basin
- Take a large fluffy towel and choose the most comfortable place.
- Tie your hair, and clean your face with a gentle scrub.
- Prepare 4 to 6 cups of boiling water in a kettle or saucepan.
- Put boiling water into the basin.
- Sit down, hang a towel over your head and basin, and position your face 6 inches above the water.
- Steam face to water 5 to 10 minutes.
Steam the water with a hot towel
- Prepare a small towel.
- Tie hair, clean face and neck using a gentle scrub cleanser.
- Soak a towel in hot water and wring it out so that it becomes damp.
- Lean back in a comfortable chair or lie down. Place the towel on the face, holding each corner so that they meet in the middle of the forehead.
- Adjust the towel so that it covers the entire face, including the eyes and nose. Leave it on for 5 minutes.
Adding essential oils to steam can also offer extra benefits. Certain herbs are considered more beneficial for various skin types. Some essential oils and herbs are known to have a calming or invigorating effect, depending on what you are looking for.
