How to Use a Face Steamer

Not everyone can afford to visit a day spa for a relaxing facial every week, and that's why having a face steamer at home is an affordable beauty must-have. Face steamers provide moisture and warmth to expand and clean your pores while relaxing you as you unwind after your day. Using a face steamer at home is a simple process that can give you complete relaxation and a baby-smooth complexion.

Things You'll Need

• Face Steamer
• Moist towel
• Essential oils

Instructions

1. Fill the reservoir of the face steamer with clean, cool water.

2. Administer about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil into the water. Lavender, eucalyptus, amber, and chamomile essential oils provide soothing and therapeutic scents.

3. Wet a bath towel and then wring it out thoroughly, leaving it moist.

4. Drape the moistened towel over your head and shoulders like a cloak and position your face over the wide funnel-shaped face guard of the steamer.

5. Turn on the steamer, and allow the essential oil-infused steam to pamper your face and ease your stress.

Tips & Warnings

• Exfoliate and moisturize your skin prior to steaming for a clean and polished result, improving the look of your skin.

• Avoid steaming during a rash or breakout such as allergic reactions or sunburns.
