Apart from the removal of acne and blackheads, the facial steaming process also helps to provide relaxation to the skin. The warm steam reduces stress and gives a spa-like sensation.
- Acne Management-
Steaming is helpful in different ways to different individuals. Acne is caused when the skin pores get blocked; giving your face steam helps to unblock these pores. Steam opens up the pores and makes product penetration easy.
- Hydration-
Steam helps to hydrate and moisturize the skin. It helps to replenish moisture and restore healthy skin.
- Boosts Collagen Development
After the steaming process, the face gets lots of blood, and along with the circulation of blood, it also receives nutrients and oxygen. This helps boost collagen production and also increases skin elasticity.
