Steam Queens
Steam isn’t something you think about in your beauty routine is it? Well we are guilty of forgetting about steaming too ! We’ll do better together right?
Steam is actually an amazing but simple way to increase the moisture retention levels of skin and hair naturally.
What’s steaming all about?
Steaming is often a stream of heated water vapor focused on the face or hair . The heat can help open pores and more. Herbal and floral elements such as rose water and green tea can be incorporated into your facial steam treatment for more benefits.
There are a few tools that you can purchase for starting your steam journey. Or you can capture the benefits of steam at home with DIY methods that we’re going to talk about.
Steam for beautiful skin
Beautiful skin starts with water , probably because we are made of water - 60 % ! Our bodies need a lot of water inside and out to be happy.
Skin is so much better when water is present. Please note how when your face or body is water damp and lotion or oils slathered on top- it turns out softer and way more supple.
