Steams facial? What is it?…
Do you feel the outside weather and over all dramas drained out your skin vitality? i totally get you!
our skin shows it all, from sleepless nights to stress to bad eating last week:)
Now, when it gets cold outside, and is the perfect time for some warming self care practices.
Steams facial is such a great and super easy treatment for near instant relaxation and at home pampering.
What are the benefits of a steams facial?
If you’ve ever had a facial at a spa a professional esthetician will typically include steaming your face prior to extractions. Steaming releases & loosens dirt and debris in your pores which makes it easier to remove whiteheads and blackheads. However, we recommend that you leave that part to the professional so you avoid scaring your skin. Additional benefits of at home facial steams include:
Get Glowy. Boosts circulation and leaves skin clear and refreshed. If you follow it with a facial massage you see a great happy skin (read more about face massage)
Unclogs Pores. The warmth from the steam helps loosen pores so dirt can come out. Like a skin detox:) You can add a detoxing mask if your skin needs it
Oxygenates Skin. Revives tired skin. ( sleepless nights? this might help!)
Improves Circulation. The heat encourages blood vessels to dilate which keeps blood flowing freely. just like using jade roller..
Calms Nerves. Breathing in aromatic herbs skin helps to soothe frayed nerves, promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
Nothing opens up pores, increases circulation, preps the skin for a deep-cleansing mask (love this one), and imparts a healthy glow like a good steam.
- boil a pot of water
- carefully transfer the water to a large bowl
- toss in a handful of fresh herbs into the bowl – basil, rosemary and mint are v. refreshing
- cover head with a towel and hold face over steamy water for 5–10 minutes
Enjoy your steams facial experience!
