Why this worksFacial steaming opens your pores, allowing for deeper cleansing and better absorption of skincare products. The warmth increases circulation, which can enhance the skin's natural radiance. Additionally, it can help relax facial muscles and promote a sense of well-being.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Gather Your Supplies You'll need a bowl of hot water, a towel, and optional essential oils or herbs for added benefits. Ensure the water is hot but not boiling to avoid burns.
  2. Prepare Your Skin Start with a gentle cleanse to remove makeup and impurities. Pat your skin dry before steaming to ensure maximum benefit.
  3. Start Steaming Lean over the bowl with your face about 30cm away. Drape the towel over your head and the bowl to trap the steam. Steam for 5-10 minutes, adjusting distance as needed.
  4. Follow Up with Skincare After steaming, apply a hydrating serum or moisturiser to lock in moisture. Your skin will be more receptive to these products post-steam.
