DIY Face Steamer
Spas offer steam treatments as a way to open the pores to purify them of dirt and clogs. Create your own face steamer at home with heated water. Include herbs for their soothing effect on the skin. If you have dry skin, finish with a moisturizer; skip this step if you have oily skin. Use the steam method once a week if you're having serious skin issues or once a month for maintenance.
