Developing a healthy skincare routine can be a combination of healthy living, effective products, and DIY solutions. Specifically, if you are hoping for younger looking skin, it’s important to incorporate all of these steps into your regular routine.
Specifically, adding facial steaming into your regular skincare routine could be the DIY solution you need to achieve younger looking skin.
Facial Steaming
According to Healthline, "The increased blood flow experienced during a steam facial promotes collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, younger-looking skin."
With that in mind, if you are want to start looking younger, adding facial steaming to your skincare routine is an easy first step.
How To Do It
Heat water to a boil and pour into a bowl. If you want to add essential oils, add a few drops to the water. Standing over the bowl, drape a towel over your head and bowl, keeping your face at least 6 inches away from the bowl. Steam face for 5-10 minutes.
Not only is this DIY skincare solution really easy to do at home, but it's also a very affordable way to help your skin look its best.
Plus, facial steaming is also hydrating, and it can help open up your pores. This makes your skincare products--like your anti-aging moisturizers, creams, and serums--even more effective.
