Steaming as a beauty Aid.How to perform steaming on facial and body skin>
The benefits of steam on the skin:
Softens and re hydrates outer layer of skin
Stimulates skin blood circulation
Helps soften plugs in pores for easy removal
What is steaming?
Exposing your skin to warm, moist steam from recently boiled water, be it from a pot in your kitchen, an electric facial sauna, a sauna at the Gym or by application of a hot compress (a flannel soaked in hot water, rinsed out and placed on the treatment area such as the back and shoulders) will help to deep cleans your skin. The warmth in the steam will improve the blood circulation to the skin, resulting in detoxification of the skin by removal of any Toxins built up in the skin. The improved circulation also results in delivery of Oxygen, water and Nutrients to the skin. The steam aids to “open” the skin pores and penetrates into the pores and loosens any Blackheads and plugs in the pores. This softening process makes it easier to remove these plugs when exfoliating with a peel-off mask or a facial/body scrub. The end result is deep cleansed, re hydrated and glowing skin.back to top
How to perform a steaming on the facial skin
1.Boil some water in a pot
2.Turn heat off (the water does not have to be boiling, just hot)
3.Place a large towel over your head to cover your face and create a “tent” over the pot of hot water.
4.Allow the steam to condense over your facial skin. Do not take your face too near the water and do take your face away from the water at short intervals.
5.Continue this process for 10 to 15 minutes.
Alternative ways of achieving STEAMING of the skin:
Hot shower or bath
Electric facial sauna(a gadget that generates steam in a closed environment of a plastic screen from water heated in the base)
On the back and shoulders use a hot compress, or visit the Gym/sauna
Deep cleanse skin with warm, moist and preferably essential oil enriched steam
Enhance the beneficial effects of steam by adding 5 to 6 drops of an appropriate essential oil to the hot (not boiling) water (tea tree oil, lavender oil)

Add Devina`s choice to your skin care regime
Acne is best treated and prevented by addressing ALL the factors that lead to the formation of lesions. Therefore it is logical to combine treatment with products that address different causative factors(sebum, bacteria, dead skin). The action of each preparation will be ADDITIVE and lead to a more effective and faster result than can be achieved by a single product alone. It is usual to apply one product in the morning and a different one in the evening. However there are also products available that contain TWO of the active agents in the one application. All sufferers want instant results. You can help yourself by using this technique.
Complement, augment and enhance your existing acne treatment by taking advantage of the fact that by adding a product that addresses a different causative factor to your regime will enhance the existing treatment synergistically (An additive action) by producing FASTER and more EFFECTIVE results. Add DEVINA`S CHOICE peel-off face and body mask to your existing medical treatment for acne to enhance its effects. back to top |
