I hear you but my skin has Been glowing since starting facial steaming

I've steamed my face since I was 14 (am now 44), and I often get compliments on my skin since my teenage years. My teenage son is breaking out and we''ve started steaming in the last 2 weekends. Seems to be improving so much that I am considering buying an actual facial steamer instead of using a pot of water and towel.

It's true, better steamers are more available for people to use at home now where as before you had to go to a dermatologist or beauty spa for it and pay a lot of money! It's also true your pores don't have muscles to open and close like she said BUT they do expand and retract! So a steamer does open up the pores and remove impurities (especially well if you use a microsteamer and deionizing steamer because the steam particles are much smaller and get in better). It also softens everything which helps with cleaning the skin out and for better exfoliation with your products. It's important to finish up with a good serum or toner afterwards though to hydrate the skin and so you don't leave your skin vulnerable to just get refilled with impurities. And it will also absorb your products better. Also you only need to steam for 10-15 minutes once or twice a week depending on your skin type. Over steaming will be too harsh and drying and not give your pores time to rest/retract properly, so for dry skin 10 mins once a week is better. Also if you suffer from very sensitive skin or rosacea you shouldn't use it as it could be too harsh and just make your skin worse. Some steamers you can add essential oils to as well for even better results and a bonus of clearing your sinuses! The key is to use them properly and not overdo things. So yeah, do your own research because there are dermatologists out there that do use and even recommend steamers for people and others that don't. Make your own informed decision! 💖

What the routing Wash face Steam Serum Moisture ?

Thankful to Dr. Whitney. I was debating which facial steamer to buy, and as I was researching different reviews of steamers, this video popped up in the feed. It immediately caught my attention since a dermatologist should definitely be able to advise whether facial steaming has ANY benefits. I also learned I have a proclivity to hyperpigmentation. I’ve been able to control my acne with Retinol, and though I have no active acne at this time, I still have brown scarring to deal with now... ugh. Lol.

sooooo why did i just find this vid AFTER i bought my facial steamer

Steaming your face is the BEST secret remedy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is SUS.

The video was going great, until she basically explained that steam does open up your pores so that the ingredients you apply on the skin penetrate better. She just made it sound bad by saying steam "damages" the skin barrier & by assuming we apply harmful products on the skin, and completely neglecting the idea that we can (actually) apply beneficial ingredients like vitamins E & C which promote skin hydration and brightness respectively. Do your research, don't be sold by people's subjective advice, which they back up with their endless qualifications (the long-winded intro on how qualified she is at the beginning of this video, already gave me an inkling there would be an attempt to sway people in a particular direction that isn't necessarily truthful, but convenient). In my personal experience, steaming has been a part of my skincare routine for years & my skin is still amazing. I know family members who beat acne by incorporating steaming into their skincare routines. We're not saying steam is a magical skincare product, but it is certainly a necessity in one's skincare routine if prominent, positive results are the goal. PERIODT.

@escitalopram15mg61

2 жыл бұрын

Vitamin c and e and all other good skincare ingredients are already formulated to penetrate into the layers of the skin where they need to be. When you steam your face and apply “good” skin care ingredients they can penetrate way too deep and cause inflammation. Steaming absolutely damages the skin barrier and drys out skin, and is also not needed to see “prominent” results at all. Steaming your face just makes you sweat and increases inflammation in the skin which isn’t good. Throwing skincare ingredients that promote hydration and brightness in the skin actually is going to be less effective because you have damaged the skin my steaming it, and your ingredients are just gonna further irritate your skin. The only benefit to steaming is that it makes you sweat. So, if you love being sweaty from hot steam then go crazy I guess.

I dont buy that it damages the skin, why do you think people use humidifiers to moisturize the air and help with congestion. I also use my steamer for my allergies it helps so much also helped my allergy induced cough. For me, it lowers inflammation so Il keep to what works for me.

If you use a face vacuum without steaming first, little to nothing will come out, BUT if you do steam first your pores do open and black heads and withe heads do come out, after steam yo vacuum, after vacuuming you apply cold, and voila, beautiful skin.

I think the main reason this is being recommended against is that its very hard to profit from.

Yeah there are limitations to face steamers. This is why I prefer wet sauna's that you can adjust to the appropriate temperature and also moderating how long and how often I use it per week. Not to mention, appropriate moisturing afterwards. This prevents me how getting extreme heat to sensitive part of my body and face but actually sweating it out by moderate temperature. I just got a face steamer, I would never get closer than 8 inches to quickly heat up my face and sweat it out. I treat it as an addition if my face is not getting the appopriate care from the steam room. I haven't even got to the part of the importance of staying hydrated and getting lots of good rest and healthy meals either. so important

As a person whose sebacious glands don"t work, and whose sweat glands almost either, steam works wonders to reduce tightness and skin discomfort.

So glad to see this video. I maybe use steam on a client about once a month if that; There are very few clients who are even suitable for it. I get some kickback for it (but rare), and this just confirms all my reasons for not using it. Thank you Whitney! And I loved your book! I recommend it to all my clients that suffer with acne.

I moved to Canada and wasn't use to such dryness. It really started to affect my already prone to being dry skin. I was also getting bumps on the back of my arms and dry patches on my face. I tried all sorts of recommended dermatologist creams and they did not help. So i started full body steaming once a week for 20 minutes. The bumps are gone, my skin is soft and glowing, plus it helped with wrinkles. Keep in mind after i do this i don't put anything on the skin for a few hours besides a nice cold shower. If after a few hours i feel like putting something on the skin, i use natural oils.. etc...coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil which also have anti inflammatory benefits ( i prefer not to put chemicals on my skin ) I mean, im no doctor, but after plenty of trial and era this works for me, and may not work for others. Each to their own i guess.

Opinion on using differin/any adapalene topicals for controlling sebaceous production? I'm using it now for the past month and after doing research on how it prevents acne I'm just wondering your opinion about it :) thanks

Many people said that steaming 3 times a day is good for people who doesn't have a sensitive skin and some said steaming is bad.

but is it okay to facial steam just once a month. I'm not going to do that often but is it okay if I facial steam my face just once a month?

Thank you Dr. Is it good to get steam for stuffy nose due to cold?

@@azem7623 I’m weak what changes did you notice ? Since you been using the steam ?

Is it also bad if you only want to use steam rarely just to remove black pimple on the nose region?

Dr Whitney, should I steam before a salicylic acid peel? I use 20% at home and before you grill me alive for being stupid you should know it turned out really well, but no peel after that has made an impact like that first one. Some parts of my face don’t even peel and I’m still using the 20%. It’s like my skin became “immune” to the beneficial acid. I need my sebaceous glands to *Calm Down*

People use steamers as cleansers so whats the difference in using cleansing products and steamers? And when you have a shower that's steam and your skin looks more clean and fresh so is that suppose to be negative?

I’m currently struggling with really dry flaky skin from the winter cold and I’d like to know if steaming can help a little

Should I use any oil in the steam water or anything you suggest, i got oily acne prone skin...I've done steam and seen changes.

Great information 👍👍👍

This makes soooo much sense !!!!!!!!!

Thank you! This has been super informative.

Steaming has been clearing my face. So seeing why that is. I have melasma. Do you think it could actually be dirt that is being cleaned? I wash my face with cold water after. I have been doing this for years.

I suffer from reoccurring sinusitis and I'm looking at steaming as a relief method, I also suffer from ache and sensitive skin do you have any recommendations for what could help. Thank you.

Just get a sinus steam inhaler, it only covers your nose and mouth.

This was really helpful. Thank you!

My pleasure! Thank you for your feedback!

I don’t understand why dermatologists making scare us of steaming. No one complained about it. It’s better for the skin. Just cuz rare cases have some adverse reactions to steaming for some underlying reasons, that doesn’t mean you go scare the whole population and tell them don’t steam. This is the best way to encourage people to ignore their skin health, and blindly pay a dermatologist to fix their negligence skin and by what, by a medical steaming that cost you hundred. It’s like telling us, don’t steam, wait till it gets worse and we will take care of your skin if you pay us.

New here! Thank you for this, I learned so much! I've seen a trend of women shaving their faces, and when you spoke on the way pores are designed, it made me think of that. What are your thoughts? Is it a bad idea?

This is a great question! I have several patients who shave their faces using a single blade called an eyebrow razor. They tend to do it because of the fine vellus hair, commonly called "peach fuzz." It's not a great option if you have acne prone skin because it can make the acne worse.
