How To Steam Your Face At Home


How To Steam Your Face At Home steaming the face generalSteaming the face is the best way to thoroughly deep clean your pores, to get rid of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Steaming your face is very important to loosen debris that may be embedded into the skin. When steaming the face your wide the clogged pores and soften the skin in order to cleanse more easily the impurities, the traces of makeup, the dust, the sebaceous secretions as well as the dead skin cells. The high temperature helps the pores do open and this way your body will clear of the toxins and the cosmetic products will reach every skin cell. After steaming it will be more easily for you to remove the comedones /blackheads, whiteheads/ and the little pimples.

If your skin is oily you can use thyme, peppermint or lemon. For sensitive use chamomile or lime. Those with normal skin can use rose, rosemary or lavender.

Boil a pan of water and after few minutes remove the pan from the stove. Add fresh herbs to create a fresh scent such as mint, chamomile and rosemary. Stand directly over the steam and drape a small towel over your head for keeping the steam from escaping because it will be more effective in opening the clogged pores. Stay 10/ 15 minutes until the steam disappears and rinse the face with lukewarm water. You can steam your face twice a week without worries – it won’t harm your skin.


The best time for applying facial mask is after steaming your face, because the pores are open and mask will be able to penetrate deeply into the skin.
If you want to remove the comedones wrap a tissue around your fingers and apply gentle pressure to each side of the comedones. Squeeze them gently but never squeeze violently because it may lead to scarring. After steaming always apply some tonic to disinfect the skin and apply hydrating cream.


Be careful not to burn your face. You shouldn’t feel any discomfort.

    yes you can steam your face more than twice a week but honestly I do not see a point doing it – after steaming your face you should `close` the pores by applying a facial mask for example. There is no point in applying facial mask more than twice a week.

  • Silvia Yaneva said:

    Dear Hema,

    you should cleanse your face before steaming it making sure you have removed your makeup. After steaming your face apply a facial mask to close the pores.

  • Silvia Yaneva said:

    dear Jennifer, yes this is the correct way for steaming your face. Firstly you should wash your face with warm water to remove any impurities and then use cold water to close the pores.

    This works wonderfully!!!! I started doing this about 3 weeks ago and noticed my blackheads from 2 previous pimples started to disappear within a week. I had been trying to get rid of them for about a month, they were fading but no fast enough until I started steaming my face. Also I’ve only had one pimple since, and as soon as I felt it coming, I steamed and it was gone the next morning. I actually clean my face with Olay daily facials first, then steam for 15 mins, afterwards I gently pat dry with a paper towel and apply a little bit of warm water to my face, then I use either a scrub “black head and break out cleansing scrub”, then a toner to close the pores back up. Also I feel so good afterwards and my face feels refreshed. I’ve been doing this twice a week, Sunday’s and Weds.
