When you steam your skin at home, or have it steamed in a professional facial, many people think the pores open up and they can get cleaned out easier. This is false. Pores aren’t like doors, they don’t open and close.
But steam is beneficial in two ways.
-The heat that the steam produces will raise the temperature of the skin, therefore softening the hardened oil in the pore for easier extraction and deep pore cleansing. (In all of the Renée Rouleau facials, we use special skin softening treatments along with steam to ensure the pores get properly softened for manual extractions—without leaving you red afterward.)…
-It is excellent for hydrating the skin as long as you seal in the moisture with a cream afterwards, preventing the moisture from evaporating.
