Steaming

actually i started using steam for my acne 2weeks b4...and i must say that is so usefull andwill make u happy!!!...What i do is squeeze about two spoons worth of lemon juice into a glass. Then dab the lemon all over my face, not too much though because lemon is very acidy and it may sting. I boil some water, pour it into a bowl and steam my face with a towel over my head. This way the pores open up wide and the lemon's magical vitamins are absorbed into the skin. The following day my skin is virtually clear.

How can there be a down side to one of the simplest things to clear your acne. Steaming helps to open your pores so you can clean them out, and remove all the bacteria. I just wash my face with a simple cleanser (not made for acne its just to remove makeup and dirt) then i boil up some water and add some sea salt; you can also add essential oils and.... for oily skin, lavender, peppermint, and rosmary for dry skin, chamomile, fennel seeds, and roses. After the water boils put a towel over your head (if you have long hair pull it up) and steam for 5-10 minutes. I like to play some music in the background (listen to about three songs for a 10 min. session.) After steaming i splashsome water on my face and then mix a paste out of baking soda and water and apply it. I then wash that off, and apply some diluted apple cider vineger. Then I'm done an left with a fresh face I love. Don't steam to often, because it will lead to dry skin, and then you will get more acne. About twice a week is good unless you have oily skin then maybe more often, but no more than once a day. You dont have to break the bank to clear your acne. Do simple things, with an open mind. Just relax and use a little steam. For some fun you can always do a facial after. my facial is... 1 tablespoon eggwhite whipped, mixed with a little bit of lemon juice apply this for 10 minutes then rinse off. I've found that this fades those horrible marks that stay for way to long after your acne goes away.

if you have asthma or breathing problem do not use it and if you do be careful you should only do this once a week because doing this too much will not help your face at all HOW TO STEAM YOUR FACE 1.boil some water make sure it hot 2.get a mat or book and put the pot on it 3.(optional)get you favorite essential oil to put in the water add a few drops 4.get a towel and a tent like think and put you head under the towel you should do this for ten to fifteenth minutes after that splash cold water on your face to close the pores and put on BP and or moisturizer to your face as usually

I use a face steamer, and I must say it works fairly well with my acne pron skin. I had got my face clear, but started slacking off, and u know what happens next. When I started back on my face regimen; my products did not seem to work that well like usually. Just a couple days ago I started back steaming my face along with my regimen, and its working very fast again. I now know that the steam makes my regimen work wonders. STEAMING WILL NOT CLEAR YOUR SKIN ALONE. Some tips I can give is to not pat your face dry with a towel (let it air dry), wash your face LIGHTLY (use a very small amount) with a gentle face wash (ex. Noxzema) before steaming; to let the steam penitrate, and after to remove the impurities that come out. After this put on your fav. acne treatment, and you'll see how much better it works. Not to mention that the steamer is very moisturizing. I never moisturize my face in fears of breaking out. If u suffer from dry skin (probably from harsh products); you'll love this. Not to mention u don't have to steam that long (maybe 5-10 mins). That's all the tips I have, if u do any of them make sure to wash your face after steaming (I recommend not just water, but a wash). You want to get all the impurities off your skin. Hope this helped. O and if u want to know a good after treatment (leave on); look into de la Cruz sulfur (its cheap and awesome). If not yogurt works great 2. I did not put a price because u don't have 2 pay for it. U can get a pot, fill it with water, let it boil, and steam that way with a towel over your head to trap in the steam.

This is the best thing I've ever done for my face. I have combination skin, and light-moderate acne. What I do is wash my face with a gentle cleanser (I love Cetaphil!) plug my sink, and then fill it with water as hot as it will go. My sink (as well as most sinks) has a hole towards the top so the sink can't overflow. I leave the water running, and put my head about an inch away from the water. I put a towel over my head to keep the steam in. I do this for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, I use St. Ives Green Tea Scrub, apply salicylic acid spot treatment (currently Clean and Clear advantage) and then my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin moisturizer This cleared my skin SO much. I wouldn't say I'm totally clear, but a lot clearer than I was before. If you start breaking out really bad, just remember it's normal. It'll only last a day or two, and you'll be happy you tried!

I join a local fitness gym that has a steam room and a sauna as well which makes it very convenient for me to regularly steam my face after my daily workout sessions. I usually apply a thin layer of jojoba oil infused with lavender and geranium essential oils on my face before I get into the steam room and sit in for 15-20 minutes max. Right after that, I take a cool shower and thoroughly cleanse my face with a salt soap bar. I follow up with a gentle mechanical scrub and pat dry. I apply toner and moisturizer and dab over acne spots with tea tree oil. I have noticed that my acne has started to clear up. I have less red botches and old acne scars are disappearing much quicker too. Complexion has improved a lot and I've noticed fewer whiteheads, especially around the nose area. If you can join a gym near your area that has a steam room, make full use of it. Exercise does help to clear acne. Otherwise, a simple steam towel and bowl of hot water method will work.

I have not yet brought a Facial Steamer but looking at the reviews i may . I do recommend this as i notice just by showering and turning the shower up so its fairly hot and putting my face up right to the shower head whilst the water is running reduces the redness and cleans my skin out.

I heard and read about steaming alot and I am in my 2. week of the Acne.org Regimen. Now my question is: Can i steam my face 1-2x a week and use the regimen right after? Has anybody here ever tried this out? Thanks for all the answers.

Right I steam my face I add a little vapour rub it helps me breathe anywho the steaming helps my face. Drinking water & eating right helps my skin a lot. But I'm 18 and exams stress me so my diet is crazy rn. We all want clear skin especially females so my cure would be water and a clean diet. And for a good calming toner I'd suggest something called rose water erm you can buy acid or if you go drs as for 'DUAC' I'm going to purchase some things of this website and try it too.
