The best way to thoroughly deep clean your pores is steaming. This will help get rid of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. By straming your face it will help loosen dirt that may be embedded into your skin. This will widen the clogged pores and soften the skin which means you will be able to cleanse your impurities, any traces of makeup, dust, sebaceous secretions and also dead skin cells. Because the steamer is at a high temperature it will help open the pores and therefore it will clear the toxins and help the cosmetic products reach every skin cell. After your steam your skin it will be easier to remove blackheads, whiteheads, small pimples and comedones.

For different skin types you can use different ingrediants to help your certain skin type. Use thyme, peppermint or lemon for oily skin. For sensitive skin use chahmomile or lime and for those with normal skin can use rose, rosemary or lavender.

Setting up your steamer:

You must boil a pan of water and after a few minutes remove the pan from the stove. You can add fresh herbs to create a fresh scent such as mint, lavender or peppermint. You will need to stand directly over the steam and drape a towel over your head, which will keep the steam from escaping. Stay under the blanket for atleast 10-15 minutes until all the steam disappears then rinse your face with warm water. You can steam your face up to 2 times a week and it won’t harm your skin.

The best time to apply a face mask is after you have steamed your face. This is because the pores are open and the mask will deeply soak into the skin.

If you wold like to remove comedones then you will need to wrap a tissue around your fingers and apply gentle pressure to each side of the comedones. Always squeeze them gently because if you squeeze them harshly then it will cause scarring.

After you have finished steaming apply some tonic and hydrating cream. Always be careful not to burn your face, you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.
