Will washing&steaming my face daily help acne?

Question

I wash my face with clean and clear morning burst wash and clean and clear blackhead astringent in the morning when i get out of the shower and before i go to bed i do this:

wash with clean and clear blackhead wash.

use clean and clear blackhead astringent.

steam my face[boil water,take it off over,and let it sleanse my pores].

and use either clean and clear spot treatment[which you just put on affected areas overnight or whenever,you dont have to wash it off] or proactiv refining mask[i leave it on all night and wash it off in the shower in the morning.

*between all i wait about 10 minutes and pat dry.

i just started this technique like two days ago and its really been working.

i have four big zits on my forehead right now.

and its gross.

they dont hurt but its ugly.

so yah please help :)

thannks.

Answer 1

yes always steam first and then slash with cold water that way you open then close the pores.

Answer 2

if you steam your face, wash it RIGHT afterward while the pores are still open, and then after you wash, rinse it with cold water to close the pores.

Answer 3

The washing and acne treatments will help, but the steam won't do anything.  Make sure you don't wash it more than twice a day or scrub it too much.  Good luck.

Answer 4

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! omg. I had the EXACT same problem. And I only started doing all this like 3 days ago, and guess what...it's almost ALL gone already =) What I do, is i exfoliate my face, just with the pro-activ facial scrub but you can use any type of exfoliating scrub. I first rub with my hands but after I rub with a face cloth a little harder to make sure I get all the dead skin cells off, but not to hard, you don't want to hurt your face!

Next, I fill my sink up with hot water, and i lean in over it with a towel over my head covering the whole sink to make sure no steam gets out. But if you feel like your face is burning, move it up a bit, cause your face can burn and burn and turn a bit red. I've done that before and it hurts.

After that, if i have any whiteheads or blackheads that are out far i wrap a peice of tissue around each finger and i gently squeeze them out, if it doesn't come out, don't force it, just leave it, because it will come out even more the next time you steam your face.

Then after that I put on a facial mask, I use the pro-activ facial mask but once again you can use whatever brand works for your skin! It says to leave it on for about 10-15 minutes, but I leave it on for half hour. Works better!

After, just wash it off with warm water, and then once youre done, splash your face a couple of times with cold water to close your pores again. About 5-10 minutes after that I usually put on some moisturizer but that parts up to you, I just have a problem with dry skin, that's why I do.

I now have 3 zits, i know you probably didn't want to know that :P lmao but that is it, i started off with acne, and i've done this routine everyday for 3 days in a row. And now this is all that's left. Hope it works for you too !! Sorry if this was really long.
