mystic_violet_01 0 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Steaming ur face for 10 mins everyday will eventually unclog all ur blocked pores!Depending on the severity of ur pores, it will take anywhere from 1-2 months to have smaller clear pores- i promise! I had really deep black clogged pores and i steamed my face everyday for 10 mins for 2 months and now my pores are clear!Here's how:-Boil some water-put some salt into a bowel(optional)-pour in the boiling water-sit at a table with ur head over the bowl and a towl over ur head to trap the steam-if it's too hot let some steam outDo this every night until ur pores are clear!

mystic_violet_01 0 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hopeful lad, yeah u can take a shower after just make sure u rinse ur face with cool water so u close ur pores up. Ur skin may looke a little red after but it will get use to it and if it gets too dry just moisturise a little with oil free moisture. When ur happy with ur pores just steam for 2 days a week to keep them clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annoyed_at_acne 1 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Just so you know, there's no point in putting salt in the water, salt does not evaporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User28456 0 Share Posted October 24, 2005 this helps because calm heat helps loosen skin muscle. if u splash cold water on ur face, ur pores get tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest james11 Share Posted October 24, 2005 yeah salt does NOT evaporate mystic! If you are tasting it, then i suggest you stop drinking the water when you get hot under there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcneNotSoBad 0 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Can Anyone Confirm That this really helps???And wont do anything bad to my skin-what is the significants of the salt??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic_violet_01 0 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 ummm, ok, i drink the boiling water! anyway, the salt won't hurt so ill keep using it.Yes, i can confirm it works. Ive done it for more then a month and my pores are almost clear. Your skin may look red after but thats just from the heat and it will get use to it. Depending on ur skin type, it may get a little dry if u dont moisturise, but most people with clogged pores have oily skin so it shouldnt get dry. Plus my skin is mega sensitive and it made it worse, but at first i did break out just a little, but then u get use to it.salt is suppose to be good for acne, like if u swim in the sea ur skin feels and looks better, yeah?but if u dont use the salt it doesnt really matter, im not even sure if it works i just figured it cant hurt!

True... but since the salt cant evaporate...it does absolutly nothing... The salt you are tasting is the salt expelled from your pores; human sweat contains salt..

(eLLe) 2 Share Posted October 24, 2005 steaming EVERYDAY is bad for your skin. keep it to something like once a week would be beneficial i think. btw, someone on this board, tiramisu, is the one who started the steaming with salt thing. that was the original thread.

k_razdan 0 Share Posted June 23, 2006 When I used to steam my face I just ran hot water from the bathroom faucet a bent over the sink with a towel over my head. It saved me from getting another bowl dirty. But I don't really do it anymore. It always seemed to make my problem worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsewhere 33 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Steaming worked REALLY well for me. I did it everynight for a minute and a half - towel over the sink (since clean bowls are hard to find in this place sometimes!).Worked really well, although I got lazy and don't do it as much. But it did work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
