Why steam my face, and how long should I do it?

Here are some reasons to steam your face.

  • Water vapor loosens dirt, debris and other contaminants that can clog pores

  • Steam opens pores making extractions easier 

  • Steam prepares the skin for treatments that follow 

  • Steam helps to improve circulation, which can boost your natural glow

While steaming is excellent, you don't want to overdo it. Limit steaming sessions to once or twice per week for about 10-15 minutes. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to steam for shorter periods and limit to only one per week. Don't have a portable facial steamer at home? Fill a bowl with hot water and place your face over it. Be careful not to burn yourself.

How Often Should I Exfoliate?

The short answer is that it depends. A good rule of thumb is once to twice per week. There's a whole blog post on exfoliants and exfoliating. Check it out here.
