Whether you do it in the comforts of your home or you get a professional to do it for you, Steaming your face can feel amazing. The skin feels really refreshing, like the way we do after a hot bath on a winter morning. Face steaming brings with it a multitude of skin benefits. And these benefits are the reason why you should add this to your skincare routine.

Hydrates the Skin: There is a difference between the skin being dry and being dehydrated. Dehydration means the skin lacks water. Even oily skin can be hydrated. Steaming can help the skin get the hydration it lacks and keep it plump.

Improves Product Absorption: Face steaming opens up pores and improves skin permeability. This in return it helps the skin in absorbing all topical products applied afterward. So You can get more benefits out of them.

Softens The Skin: Since steaming will hydrate your skin, it will also soften the layers of your skin to make any and all kinds of extractions easier. The heat and water coupled together break down the impurities that get trapped inside for easier removal.

Improve Blood Circulation: The warm steam stimulates the blood vessels to improve blood circulation. This in turn increases the oxygen level in your skin that provides us with a healthier glow and plumper look.

Makes Extractions Easier: Dr. Hadley King, a board-certified dermatologist from New York City, USA, says “Facial steaming primes the skin for extractions, so clogged comedones (pores) will be much easier to extract”.

Reduces Break-outs: When the sebum and oil produced by the sebaceous glands get stuck inside the skin and combine with other impurities, they cause excessive break-outs. Steaming can help open up the pores so that these impurities are easily extracted.

So Soothing: The warm steam on your skin will give a whole different kind of soothing feeling. Especially during winter, it can be very relaxing. If you add some essential oils to this, it will feel like aromatherapy.

As we can see, Facial steam can do so much good for our skin. So adding this once or twice to your weekly skincare regimen will be very beneficial. It will not only help you bring that natural glow back to your skin but also calm your mind and body.
