Acne Steam Treatment
One of the simplest and most popular natural treatments is steam for acne removal. But does it work, and how? Read on for the pros and cons of steam treatment for acne. There are two ways to take a steam bath for your acne. One is to use a sauna or steam room. The other, for facial acne only, is to steam at home. Let's take the second one first.
At Home Acne Steam Treatment
This is a very simple treatment where you take a bowl of hot water and a sheet or large cloth. Never use plastic - this is very important - you could suffocate if you put plastic over your head. Only use fabric that you can breathe through. Fill the bowl with hot water and put your head over it, facing the water. Put the cloth over your head to hold in the steam. Don't have the water too hot. This means do not use boiling water from the kettle. Only use hot water from the tap. You can stay for about 10 minutes (but just 5 minutes the first time to check for any adverse reaction). Then wipe your face with an astringent such as witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to clean off any oils that have been drawn out of the pores by the steam and close the pores. Test for any allergy to these products by applying them to a small area first. Cold water can also act as an astringent.
