Cleansing and Steaming the Face

Unless your face is absolutely clean, no make up will be effective.

Scrub your face thoroughly with some mild soap not forgetting the area around the nose and chin. People with an oily skin should do so many times a day so that no blemishes develop.

If you have an extremely dry skin, avoid using soap. Clean your face with some cleansing lotion.

Now you are ready to steam the face. Oily skinned people may need steaming twice a week end. those with a dry skin may steam their face once a week or once in two weeks.

Steaming deep cleans your face of dirt and many impurities.

Steaming forces skin to perspire which prevents pimples.

However, if you have a sensitive, delicate skin, steaming is not for you.

Make a towel tent over a basin of hot water and lean over it. Steam your face for about ten minutes.
