If you’re looking for a cheap but effective way to up your skincare game, facial steaming might be the answer. Steaming allows for a deeper cleanse by opening up the pores and loosening any built-up dirt and excess oils. Warm steam increases perspiration which dilates blood vessels increasing circulation. This increased circulation nourishes the skin and gives you a nice, healthy glow. Steaming helps release dead skin cells, bacteria, and other impurities that cause acne. Speaking of acne steaming also helps release trapped sebum which is one of the causes of acne. For those looking to slow down the signs of aging, steam promotes collagen and elastin production. If done regularly this can result in firmer, younger-looking skin. Steaming isn’t just good for the skin it can help relieve congestion and headaches too. If you’re interested in trying steaming you can either buy a home facial steamer or use a bowl with hot water.
