What are the benefits of facial steaming?

Facial steaming helps cure a multitude of ills, from blocked sinuses to congested pores. It is particularly beneficial during winter when colds and persistent sniffles are common, as the steam helps to open and purify the skin.

What do you need for an at-home facial steam?

You can use either a hi-tech facial sauna like the Conair True Glow or an old-fashioned bowl of hot water. Adding essential oils such as doTERRA blends or a floral facial steam like The Seeke Breathe can enhance the experience and benefits.

How often should you steam your face?

Facial steaming can be done regularly, especially during the colder months when skin tends to become more congested. Follow up with a gentle cleanser like COSMEDIX Purity Clean or Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Water to remove any impurities loosened during the steam.
