claud 6 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hey your facial steaming method is improving my complexion...Seriously. I love how it extracts all the acne...thanks...hugs to you...also...I don't put epson salt...I only use steam water. Cause' I'm actually using a scrub that has medication in it. So, I don't want to be too dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesac 0 Share Posted June 30, 2005 whats the salt you put in the bowl? just normal salt that you use on your food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances The Mute 0 Share Posted June 30, 2005 You know whats weird... i started steaming and it brought alot of acne to the surface... mostly small pimples... and they are almost gone 2 days later.. its weird how my face can dramatically improve in just 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiramisu 1 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 yesac - the salt that I MY SELF put in would be kosher salt but like i posted..any salt works just as good! Good luckHendrixisgod - hey there! Yeah i noticed that too..ive been steaming for quite a while now..but i didnt really care what poppe dup and what popped in I just love how it feels afterwards. I use burtsbees carrot soap after and it makes it even better! My face heals pretty fast after i steam as well..despite the fact that pimples are rising..it doesnt matter as long as it goes down aftewards (for me that is). well..thaats awl..tata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claud 6 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Is good to break out. I know you could get freak out by it. But, is a good thing. Like this you can just extracted gently and you don't have to worry about the breakouts anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiramisu 1 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 I break out a lot when i steam as well but then after a while..the steam has NOTHING else to bring up. So im just bringing everything up all at once and then treat it till it goes away and then steam again where everything COMES up (but not as bad as before tho) and then treat it..i keep on doing this till everything just comes o uta my skin and then about the third time i steam .. it took me a while to treat it but then when i steam again..IM NOT BREAKING OUT! OR the steam aint bringing everything up the surface cos theres nothing else to bring up! Yu get me? lol.. well thats how i do it and my skin is 100% clear ..thats right baby!=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesac 0 Share Posted July 2, 2005 You say that you're suppose to have a clean towel to wipe up all the sweat afterwards. My skin is very sensitive and would probably turn red if i gently wiped it (only in the problem areas). Do you suggest i wipe anyway to also remove all of the dead skin/crap off my face.

humanbiology 0 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Or just try to wash it off and rub it with warm water?!!!? I did that once cause I had no towel lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyoN- 0 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Instead of (or as well as) adding table salt (NaCl) to the water, couldn't we try adding an antibiotic aromatherapy oil, like tea tree or lavender? Get it nice and deep in pores... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiramisu 1 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yesac - I say towel cos..well iuno. I my self use cotton swabs and u can see all the dirt in the swab. But then it came to that i used up the whole deal in an amount of 3 days! So i just gently pat away the sweat with a PAPER towl and then swab (usually it would take about 5-7 swabs to get it all off and now its only 1) Then i do what ever i wish after i steam! xDHumanbiology - What did i say dont go blaming on my steam now? =D just kidding dudee. Well i did get that too .. i hardly broke out on my forhead but when i steamed it got even worse! But then i treat it right away with masks..cleansers yeah..forunately for ME..it went down after a week. It was clear! But then when i steamed again..it BROKE OUT..well like i sayd. I kept on treating the acne untill everything comes up and dieeee xDHalcyoN - Yeahh the discussion was actually discussed earlier XD But i have not tried it yet. Im just sticking to regular salt /= But you could try different herbs as well! Although..aromatherapy SOUNDS great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortCakeSammie 0 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Heyy im new here , but i just did the steaming thing and my face feels really refreshed and clean and i love it! I will continue to do it and hopefully i pray:pray: it will work as good as u say because i have very oily skin and i hope it will reduce the amount of oil my face produced. So thank you very very much !-SammieVee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
