Why we steam before every facial
A few minutes of warm steam prepares the skin so the rest of the treatment works better.
Warm steam softens the outer layer of the skin and loosens build-up in pores, so extraction is gentler and masks absorb more evenly.
We keep steam sessions short — five to eight minutes at a comfortable distance — because too much heat can leave sensitive skin red.
At home, a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head works for a weekly treat. Follow with a clay mask and a light moisturiser.
