steaming the face, to open up pores Options

[oOjenniOo]

i heard that to get ride of blackheads, you can steam your face so it will make you sweat and open up your pores, then use a bobbypin to push them out or something [?]

my question is do u steam ur face over like a boiling pot of water or is there like a special technique that comes with it all? and how long do you do it for? does anyone know

Ew, no. DO NOT stick pins into your face. NEVER squeeze blemished skin full stop, because they will only leave an ugly scar. Just keep your fingertips AWAY.

Yes. Steaming the face is great for opening and cleansing your pores. It also gets rid of excess oil which causes you to break out.

After steaming the face, cleanse with a soap which suits your skin type (dry, mild, combination, oily to very oily) rinse with cool water to close your pores back up again.

Dry. And then use a blemish cream. I love Clinique skin range and I'm sure their "anti-blemish" range is just as great as the rest of their products.


My other tips would be:
Not to use anything harsh for washing your face. Use your hands.

If you feel you don't have the time to steam your face, use a hot flannel and lay it across your face, it does the same thing.

Having hot showers also does the same thing. And that's just what I do. Once you're out, apply your cream.

I don't even get blemished skin. But steaming the face is good for anyone once in a while. Just don't do it on a daily basis. Over-steaming your face rids you of excess oil. You don't want to rid yourself of the natural oils that keep your skin from being dry.
