Cleansing facial steams that extract impurities from clogged pores

-

Clogged pores are a result of the excessive oil production. Additional factors such as environment and dirt end up on the skin and clog the pores.


Oil glands, located in the dermis of the skin, open into a hair shaft. Oil glands (also known as sebaceous glands) are beneficial to skin when they work properly. They secrete the oil that coats the hair shaft and protects it from getting dry and brittle. 
The same oil that protects the hair, plays a major role in creating a layer on the surface of the skin that protects the skin from excessive loss of water, keeps it soft and pliable, and protects it from harmful bacteria.




Pores on the face need to be unclogged and cleansed regularly so that the pore does not go into an inflammation. There are pore cleansers available out there, but there is nothing like a simple facial steam that you can prepare, to clear pores and rejuvenate your face.


Pore cleansers open pores and extract all the impurities. By adding essential oils to water, you are not only getting the fragrance but the actual nutrients that come out of oils and penetrate the skin exuding their healing properties.


Depending on your skin type you need to use different essential oils.


Normal skin 
Use mandarin or lavender essential oil.


Oily skin
Use lemon or eucalyptus oil.


Dry skin
Use rose or chamomile essential oil.


They are similar to facial exfoliants because they open up the pores, but when it comes to cleansing the pores deep in the skin, the facial steam is the best choice.


Start off with the simplest facial steam. An additional thing that this facial steam does is that it clears sinuses and alleviates headaches.


Peppermint Rosemary Facial Steam


Ingredients


1 gallon of boiling water
4 drops of peppermint essential oil
4 drops of rosemary essential oil




Preparation


Pour the boiling water in a large bowl and wait until it cools down a bit
Add the essential oils
Put face over the bowl and cover your head with a towel
Stay in that position for 10 minutes or so
Pat dry




Peppermint is an emollient. It smoothes and soothes the skin. It is also a great antiseptic.


Rosemary is a muscle relaxant.


Lavender Cleanser for Clogged Pores


Ingredients


1 gallon of almost boiling water
6 drops of lavender essential oil




Preparation


To an almost boiling water, add lavender essential oil
Hold the face over the bowl with a towel covering the head
Stay like that for 10 minutes
Pat dry


Lavender is a muscle relaxant, soothing agent, conditioner and astringent. 


Tea Tree Oil Facial Steam


Add 4-5 drops of tea tree oil into a gallon of hot, boiling water. That's it!


Tea tree oil is a potent antiseptic, it prevents and heals infections. This facial steam is ideal for oily, acne prone skin.


Pore cleansers will help the clogged pores open, but will leave them vulnerable to additional dirt getting in. 


To close pores, you can go ahead an apply an astringent mask, an orange facial mask is what would be a good choice.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
