Why Steaming Works
How to Properly Steam Cleanse Your Face
Step-by-Step Guide
- Cleanse: Start with our African black soap foaming face wash to remove any surface dirt and makeup. This soap is known for its antibacterial properties, which help prevent acne.
- Prepare the Steam: Boil water and carefully pour it into a bowl, taking care not to spill or splash hot water on yourself.
- Steam: Once the water is steaming, place a towel over your head and bend down towards the bowl, ensuring the steam is trapped. Stay in this position for about 10 minutes. The steam opens your pores and purges unwanted substances, like excess sebum. Sebum is an oily substance released by your sebaceous glands and a common cause of acne/pimples.
- Close Pores: After steaming, again wash your face with our African black soap foaming face wash. Splash your face with cold water to close your pores.
- Moisturize: Apply a pea sized amount of our Lustre Shea butter blend to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and hydrated.
Precautions and Tips
- Safety First: Always handle hot water with care to avoid burns.
- Timing: Limit your steaming session to 10 minutes to prevent skin irritation.
- Hydration: Drink water before and after steaming to stay hydrated.
