Recently, I took a trip to New York City and noticed many of the ladies
there had beautiful skin and hair. I know it's reasonable to have your hair done several times a week near Harlem but one thing that stood out to me was that it was always humid. During my 2 week stay, with the help of Dr. Murad's Acne Complex Kit, I managed to clear up my acne and had glowing skin when I returned to California. In fact, quite a few people in the beauty industry asked what my secret was because the change was so dramatic in such a short period of time.
Upon my return, I decided to get a facial steamer to try and recreate the humidity I experienced in NY. Low and behold, my skin is radiant and I managed to keep my acne under control. Because of this, I wanted to share my secret with everyone in hopes that it helps you achieve the same results as well. Remember, although I'm a hair and eyelash artist, I know that healthy skin is a compliment to any beauty regime.
Tips for facial steaming
- If you suffer from severe acne or any other condition such as sensitivity or redness, consult with a skincare professional before steaming at home.
- When using a facial steamer, slowly get closer to the hot steam. If you get too close, it could scald your skin which can leave a scar. 12 inches or more away from the steam in general is a safe distance.
Benefits of facial steaming
- Increased relaxation
- Enhanced circulation
- Increased perspiration
- Congestion and sinus relief
There are many options on the market so it may be difficult to determine which is the best option for you. Personally, I use the Conair Facial Sauna which I found on Ebay. For those of you on a budget, there are options to achieve results using things you may already have at home.
Option 1: Boil a pot of water, pour water into a bowl, put a towel over your head so steam wont escape and lean over the bowl for up to 15 minutes.
Option 2: Wet a towel large enough to cover your face and squeeze it so it's damp. Roll it up and place in the microwave for 1 minute. While the towel is warm yet cool enough to touch your face, place it on your face and leave it there for up to 10 minutes. Repeat as desired.
