Question

how do i do a steam facial and what does it do for your skin ?

Answer 1

1. Cleanse

You should apply the cleanser in a circular motion using the pads of your fingertips. Rinse and gently blot your face dry with a towel.

2. Steam

Fill a bowl with hot steaming water and cover your head with a towel while placing your face over the bowl for 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes, dry your face gently with a clean towel.

3. Exfoliate

Apply the scrub in a circular motion using the pads of your fingertips. Rinse well and blot gently with a towel.

4. Mask

Use a Mask.

5. Moisturize

Spray water on skin then apply the moisturizer sparingly, using a gentle touch.

Only do this once every 1-2 weeks because doing something like this does extreemly cleanse your skin, but it can cause irritation if used too often. Here are somethings you could use as the 'mask':

Apple Zinger Facial Mask (Oily and Acne Prone Skin)

Take 1 medium size apple, grated fine, 5 tbs. honey. Mix the grated apple and honey well. Smooth over skin and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.

Cool as a Cucumber Yogurt Facial (Normal/Oily Skin)

1/2 cucumber

1 Tbsp plain yogurt

Puree cucumber in blender mix in yogurt, apply to face. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse well.

Honey Mask (Oily/Blemished Skin)

Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.

Pineapple Olive Oil Mask

In a blender, combine 4 large pineapple chunks or 1/2 cup canned, drained pineapple and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until almost smooth. Apply mixture to face with fingertips and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse face with warm water and pat dry.

Tomato Blemish Remedy

1 tomato, ripe, chopped

1 tsp. lemon juice

1 T instant style oatmeal or old fashioned rolled oats

Blend all ingredients until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place.  Leave in place 10 minutes.  Remove with damp washcloth, and rinse and tone.

Honey Yogurt Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Mix 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar with ½ teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt. Smooth the mixture over your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off using lukewarm water.

Before you use the moisturizer and after the mask you can tone your skin, here's a way to do that:

Toning: Egg Whites

Using egg whites is the cheapest and easiest way to tone your skin at home. Simply separate a few raw egg whites into a bowl and apply directly on the facial skin after cleansing. Let the egg white dry for at least 15 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water for an instant glow.
