Steaming is said to be a skin care fundamental as it helps in drawing out impurities and toxins. Steaming helps to open the pores more and that also helps you to use face scrubs, masks and creams straight after. There are quite lot of benefits of steaming for skin and also on overall health.

Steaming must be done once a week as a good practice for skin care. You could apply a moisturizer and massage your neck and face before steaming for better results. After steaming, you can exfoliate/cleanse your skin. After that by using a cotton towel, you could cleanse and softly wash your face. This would increase blood circulation and clear off dead cells.

Frequent steaming is not recommended on a dry skin as it would devoid the skin of its natural moisture. Also, use an oil based moisturizer before going for steaming.
