News India Live, Digital Desk: Who doesn’t want glowing and flawless skin? For this we use expensive facials, creams and what not. But do you know that there is a method available in our home itself, which can give you a parlor-like glow without spending a single penny? Yes, we are talking about taking steam on the face.
This is a very old and effective recipe, which our grandmothers have always been using. It not only cleans our skin but also gives it a new life. Come, let us know about some amazing benefits of taking steam on the face.
1. Deep cleansing of the skin
Dirt, dust and oil accumulate in the pores of our face throughout the day, which leads to the problem of pimples and blackheads. Hot steam helps in opening these clogged pores, due to which all the dirt and bacteria stuck inside soften and come out. It provides such deep cleansing of your skin, which even an expensive face wash may not be able to do.
2. Get rid of blackheads and whiteheads
If you are troubled by stubborn blackheads on the nose and chin, then steam is no less than magic for you. Steaming softens the roots of blackheads, making them much easier to remove. If you scrub gently after taking steam once a week, you will see amazing results.
3. Improves blood circulation
When hot steam falls on our face, it increases blood circulation in the skin. Better blood circulation means your skin cells get more oxygen and nutrients. For this reason, immediately after taking steam, a natural and healthy pink glow appears on the face.
4. Get full benefit of skin care products
Do you know why your expensive cream or serum doesn’t work that well? Because the pores of your skin are closed and it is not able to absorb the product deeply. When your pores open after taking steam, any skin care product can reach deep into the skin and show its full effect.
The right way to take steam at home
- First of all, wash your face thoroughly with a mild face wash.
- Take hot water in a wide vessel. The water should not be too boiling.
- Cover your head with a towel so that the steam does not escape.
- Place the face at a distance of about 8-10 inches from the vessel and inhale the steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
- After taking steam, gently wipe the face with a clean and soft towel.
- After this, apply a good moisturizer or face pack on the face.
This ‘home facial’ of just 10 minutes once a week can make your skin healthy, clean and glowing. So next time whenever your skin feels dull, try this easy remedy before running to the parlor.
