Steaming is not only confined to a cough and cold days, where you sit down covering your head with a towel. Yes, it sure does wonders for your clogged nose and cold. But there are many things more to steaming than just using it as a home remedy to clear cold.
But there is an only hand full of people who are well-versed with the beauty benefits of steaming. Many Hollywood actresses known for their flawless skin, like Jennifer Aniston and Miranda Kerr opt for a steam facial at home for clarifying their skin.
You can add some aromatherapy oils or green tea to make steaming a bit stress relieving as well. But you should be very careful during the process. Don’t burn your skin. If you feel a burning sensation on your skin, keep your face a bit farther from the steam. Don’t expose your face to the steam for long. Use a proper facial steamer to get the steam facial.
