Benefits of Beauty Steaming
by Peter Hutch
Steaming is beneficial for cleaning all types of skin. It cleans
the skin of all surface dirt, stimulates the circulation and
unclogs blocked pores. It opens your pores, removes dead skin
cells, improves circulation and allows for a deep cleansing of
your skin. It is helpful for both acne and blackheads. Facial
steaming is recommended to be done on a weekly basis as part of
your beauty routine. Other benefits of steam on the skin is
Softens and re hydrates outer layer of skin , Stimulates skin
blood circulation and helps soften plugs in pores for easy
removal.
The benefits of steaming your face are many. It opens your
pores, removes dead skin cells, improves circulation and allows
for a deep cleansing of your skin. It is helpful for both acne
and blackheads. Facial steaming is recommended to be done on a
weekly basis as part of your beauty routine.
The best time for applying facial mask is after steaming your
face, because the pores are open and mask will be able to
penetrate deeply into the skin. Steam and sauna bathing is one
of the simplest and most comfortable ways to rid the body of
accumulated toxins as perspiration helps eliminate waste
products and accumulated toxins and a steam bath is a powerful
perspiration inducer. Steam bathing is very dehydrating, so make
sure you drink up.
Also, massage the lips in the same manner. On the nose do
circular movements with your first finger. Do light tapping with
your fingers on your cheeks to increase the circulation of blood
in these areas. Gently massage the areas around the eyes in
circular motions. Massage the forehead with first finger upwards
and outwards in circular motions. This removes tension from the
face and the induces relaxation. Lastly, do the tapping
movements allover your face with your finger tips.
Most hair, skin, facial, hand and foot treatments can be
enhanced in the sauna or steam room. Once again, for the sake of
courtesy, avoid heavily scented products, and be sure to cover
areas that might leak. If you are conditioning your hair in the
sauna or steam, cover your head with a plastic shower cap.
You can use manicure gloves or pedicure socks for sauna and
steam hand or foot treatments. Keep in mind that if your hair
tends to be slightly oily, to avoid "overkill," it behooves you
to limit your heat treatment to five minutes. After you finish,
a cold shower will close up your pores and add shine and body to
your hair. If you have access to some ice, it will help give
your skin a rosy glow!
Lower your face over the pot which should cover the head and pot
in a way that steam is directed towards your face. Don't let the
steam burn your face though.
Continue this process for 10 to 15 minutes. Alternative ways of
achieving STEAMING of the skin: Hot shower or bath.
Deep cleanse skin with warm, moist and preferably essential oil
enriched steam
Enhance the beneficial effects of steam by adding 5 to 6 drops
of an appropriate essential oil to the hot (not boiling) water
(tea tree oil, lavender oil).
Steam and sauna bathing is one of the simplest and most
comfortable ways to rid the body of accumulated toxins as
perspiration helps eliminate waste products and accumulated
toxins and a steam bath is a powerful perspiration inducer. More
than common waste products are secreted through the skin. When
heavy smokers sit in the steam room, a yellow residue is
sometimes noticed on the towels! Taking a steam bath after a
massage helps get rid of those toxins that have been dislodged
by the massage.
