DIY Steam Facial

Writer: KimberleyKimberley

Is your skin in need of some TLC? Well let me tell yo about this neat facial you can do from the comfort of your own home. It's simple to do and at minimal expense, if you don't have any of the products - simply skip the step. This facial is designed to be used with whatever you have in the house.



What you will need:


▪︎ 1x normal sized towel ▪︎ 1x hand towel ▪︎ 1x big bowl of warm water ▪︎ 1x oil cleanser or olive oil (1 teaspoon) ▪︎ 1x cleasner ▪︎ 1x face scrub/ exfoliate ▪︎ 1 x face mask ▪︎ 1x serum / cream


What to do:


  1. Pre-cleanse. Take 1 pump of your oil cleaner (or olive oil) and start massaging it into your skin, working from the inside - out. So from your nose - out to your ears, you can do strokes from the middle to the outside of your face. This is de-puffing for you skin and contouring for your face. Do this for about 1 minute.

  2. Take your hand towel and drape it in the bowl of hot water, so both ends are poking out and dry. Now twist each end away from each other to squeeze out most of the water. Sit this hot towel over your face and enjoy that for 30-60 seconds. This is opening your pores and should feel relaxing.

  3. Use the hot towel to wipe off all of the oil cleanser.

  4. Now it's time to cleanse!! Take your cleanser and massage it into your skin with circular motions.

  5. Soak the hot towel and twist again. Apply to your face again and gently rub off the cleanser.

  6. At this stage you need to change the water. Refill with more hot water.

  7. Sit with your head over the water so steam is coming onto your skin. Drape the big towel over your head so it traps the steam. Take nice deep breaths in. The steam is opening your pores and hydrating your skin at the same time. It also feels so good and comforting. Do this for around 5 mins, or longer of you like.

  8. Now, you can take your scrub and gently massage that into your skin with your finger tips. Use small circular motions. This is invigorating. You can use the water from the bowl to splash off all of they grains.

  9. Mask time! Take your mask and apply to your skin.. Usually masks stay on anywhere from 5-20 minutes. You can lie down and relax while this is on.

  10. Refill your water bowl and use the small towel again - twist out the water and sit the towel over your face & gently rub of the mask with the towel.

  11. Apply your serum and or night cream.


That's right, it's as simple as that :)


Hope you enjoy it !!
