It can also stimulate the flow of blood to the skin so that more nutrients are brought to the cells around the skin and more of the garbage in the cells of the skin are carried away by the increased blood flow. Furthermore, the steam itself acts as a cleanser, loosening the dirt stuck in the pores of the skin and encouraging the pores to widen so that dirt can be more easily removed.

A steam bath begins by boiling a suitable amount of water and transferring it to a bowl once it has sufficiently heated. Herbs and scented oils can then be added in order to make the experience more pleasant. It is important to take short breaths at first in order to become acquainted with breathing through the steam. For the best effect, the skin should be positioned about 25 centimeters away from the bowl and should be steamed for around ten to fifteen minutes. Also, drape a towel around your head so as to maximize the skin's exposure to steam. Once you are done, let your face cool down for a bit and thin wash your face off with cool water.
