Steaming for different skin types

Steam Facial at Home

* Wash your face to remove any dirt or makeup.
* Take a small bowl of hot water and place it on a flat surface, tie your hair back and place your face over it ( not too close, few inches away from the bowl) for about 5-10 mins, take a towel and cover your head as well as the bowl to help trap the steam. The steam from the water opens the pores and cleanses it.
* Follow by a light scrub and moisturiser. 

   

Wash Cloth Steam

* For a perfect at home clean up, start by removing the makeup with a good cleanser or face wash, use a tooth brush to exfoliate the face and also your lips.

* Wash cloth steam is a simple and easy method, take some hot water in a bowl and add a few drops of lemon juice in it, dip the washcloth in the bowl, ring out the excess water and press the warm wash cloth to your face until it cools. Repeat this 2 -3 times.

* To finish off splash some cold water or run a ice cube all over your face to tighten the skin and then apply a thick moisturiser to your face and neck.

Follow these tips to steam according your skin type:
Acne: Steaming is very beneficial for acne prone skin, it opens pores and gets rid of dirt and excess oils from the skin. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to the water for extra benefits.

Dry Skin: For a dry skin steam, add few drops of lavender oil to the water and follow up with a good moisturizer when the skin is still damp to keep it soft and smooth. 

Oily Skin: Steaming reduces and removes the excess oils from skin, adding few drops of lemon juice or green tea leaves to the water helps treat the oily skin related problems.

Sensitive Skin: Be careful not to over heat the skin, keep yourself at a distance while steaming and limit it to just 2 – 3 mins. Add green tea to the water or if you want you can use essential oil but limit it to a drop or two.
