Full Set of Facial Steaming
Boil a pot of water. The so-called facial steaming naturally requires the use of hot water. You need to boil some water. It can be heated on the stove or in the microwave.
Cleanse. While boiling water, remove makeup and cleanse your face. Use a mild facial cleanser and warm water to cleanse your face. You must remove makeup and cleanse your face before steaming your face, because the steam will open the pores. If the face is not washed clean, dirt will enter the pores and cause inflammation or acne.
- Do not use scrub before steaming your face. Otherwise, it will irritate facial skin.
- After cleansing, pat dry with a towel.
Pour boiling water into the basin. Place 1-2 towels on the table and place a glass or ceramic basin on top. The purpose of facial steaming is to make yourself beautiful, so you can choose a good-looking basin. If you don’t mind, a water boiling pot can also be used.
Add vanilla or essential oil. It’s not necessary, but adding herbs and essential oils can increase the effect. Herbal tea can also be used. Try this recipe:
- Rejuvenate lemongrass, and peppermint.
- Relaxing: chamomile, lavender.
- Cold and frost protection: peppermint, eucalyptus leaves.
- Stress Relief: Sandalwood, Bergamot.
Steam your face. Place a towel over your head to trap the steam. Steam for about 10 minutes. Close your eyes and take a deep breath, letting the steam awaken your skin and open your pores.
- Don’t steam for too long, and don’t leave it too close to hot water. If the temperature is too high, the skin may become inflamed.
Use a cleansing mask after steaming your face. The next step is to use a mask to cleanse the pores of garbage. Clay masks are recommended. Mix a clay mask with a little water and apply it to your face. Leave on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
- Pure honey can be used in place of a clay mask with similar results.
- If you don’t want to do a facial mask, just rinse your face with water directly after steaming your face.
Use firming lotion to close pores. Now it’s time to tighten the open pores! Tighten the pores so dirt can’t get in. Firming toner makes your skin firm and supple. Dip a cotton pad into firming lotion and apply to the nose, forehead, cheeks and chin.

Moisturize. The last part is moisturizing. Steaming your face will remove moisture from your skin, so moisturizing is important. Slather on your favorite moisturizer, or try skin-softening coconut oil, jojoba oil, or macadamia nut oil.
