Regular facials with steam are excellent skin care treatments that promote deep cleansing of pores, and help to increase circulation to the face while giving an overall glowing complexion.
Clogged pores are one of the key contributing factors to acne breakouts including (blackheads and whiteheads) and other certain skin infections. Whether you suffer from acne or have blemish-free skin, one of the best ways to cleanse facial pores is to steam your face. The warm steam causes your face to sweat, which opens the pores and helps soften the surface layer of dead skin cells, releasing dirt and debris that could be trapped in pores and lead to breakouts.
Naturally, our bodies produce sebum which protects and lubricates the skin, but when it becomes stuck in our follicles, breakouts can occur. When steaming the face, it softens, loosens pores and allows for extraction of blackheads and other bacteria. from the surface of the skin by releasing them from follicular openings. While this process can help improve mild acne, those who suffer from severe acne or skin conditions like rosacea should consult a doctor before using an at home facial steam.

After the cleansing process, steaming the skin will cause the skin to soften and allow for pores to more readily open. This process makes it easier to extract impurities such as blackheads and whiteheads. Afterward, while pores are open, applying any mask and serum will be better absorbed into the skin, penetrating deeper and removing toxins. Steaming helps blood flow circulation into the skin while allowing your body to perspire and release toxins.
