How to Take Steam:
- Wash your face with a simple cleanser. If you have acne you can use a light exfoliator. Make sure your hair is out of the way and you have a towel.
- 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) is the ideal temperature for face steaming.
- Fill a pot of water about 1/3 of the way and set to boil.
- Just before boiling, you may add a combination of herbs and oils to really treat your skin. Mint is good for loosening dirt and oil as well as clearing sinuses. Lemon juice and tea tree oil are ideal for clearing up acne. Lavender has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, and makes for a divinely relaxing steam.
- Once the water boils, remove the pot from the stove and set it on a table in front of you.
- Lean over the water and drape the towel so that it covers your head and the pot. This seals in the steam and creates a sauna for your face.
- Make sure you don’t experience any discomfort. This should be relaxing. If it hurts or is painful then you are too close to the pot.
- Sit or stand over the pot like this for 10 minutes, and when you’re done rinse your face with cool water to close the pores. Be sure to put lotion on your face soon after.
- Look at yourself! Your skin should already be looking fantastic, and you should feel like a million bucks, as promised. You can do this twice a week as needed or as wanted.
