Steaming your face what does it do to your skin?

Question

Just curious about it since i have a very sensitive skin and eczema i hardly use face lotion to clean my face,and my dermatologist advice me not to scrub my face. I only can steam my face.

Answer 1

Opens up your pores on the face. The pores hold much of the dirt, oiI & other things that trouble the skin. I imagine the dirt & other nasties fall right out when you do that.

I do it when I'm congested to get my sinuses cleaned out.  

Answer 2

Steaming your face opens the pores- I suggest that you wash you face with a mild soap to clean it- then pour boiling water into your sink and then put a towel over your face and cover the sink- do that for 5+ minutes - now that your face is clean lightly wash your face again- or you can also use a facial mask for sensitive skin- when finished splash your face in cold water (I use an ice cube to close the pores)Hopefully your dermatologist gave you ideas of what  moisturizers you can use-  good luck!

Answer 3

Moisturizes it.
