DIY FACIAL STEAMING AND TREATMENT
Facial steaming also known as facial sauna is all about letting your face absorb steam for a few minutes using a face steamer or a bowl of hot water. Usually, people place a towel over their head so that enough steam is directed towards their face. It is important to steam your face regularly as it helps deep cleanse your skin, remove toxins, prevent acne by unclogging your pores and getting rid of white and black heads.
Steaming also prevents dry skin and sinus problems. It is also a perfect way to relax. Doing your facial steaming at home saves time and money. It is advisable to practise facial steaming at least once in two weeks.
