how many of u use steaming during facials to get rid of blackheads? is steaming recommended, coz someone told me that sometimes the pores do not close properly even with ice, and then u can see these ugly enlarged pores up front…
Re: facials and steaming
I was always told that steaming was probably the best way to get rid of blackheads. Cleansers are also very reliable. Don't do it yourself though because that's when the pores usually get enlarged and such.

hi rockon.....yes me also have used this method.. however u need to be careful with the steam as you dont want to burn your skin.... usually a few drops of tea tree oil help as it acts as an astringent........always pat ur face dry and .. ur skin should be more softer and cleaner... gently and VERY gently pressing your pores your black head should ease out.....
Steaming opens-up pores and makes it easier to extract blackheads/whiteheads.. however it should always be followed-up with a toner to close u're pores.
If you already have large and open pores u may skip the steaming..even after washing u're face with warm water, splash u're face with chilled water.
and the best pore minimizing toner available in pakistan is....?????

Gina, I've heard that steaming is not recommended for those who have acne or oily skin. What's your take on this?

True !! before getting married I used to get facial regularly once a month and my salon girls always gave me same info.
but...u get blackheads BECAUSE u have oily skin, no??? coz the oil/sweat makeup etc get clogged up in ur pores???

^ FOR BLACKHEAD simply use nose strips , they work for me. In facial the method of takeing out blackheads is very painful :(
Re: facials and steaming
I use brazilianwax strip for black heads its the effective and unpainful way. also in my opinion steaming is not suitable for us(in pakistan) cause the harsh climatice conditions , heat we get in summer , while cooking up foods , going in and out and also cause in winter from your heater etc , however open pores are a major problem here because of such factors , according to me a good massage and friction of it produces equal effects and self heating masks are a good alternate.

That's true, people with flared acne usually have large pores where dust and dead skin cells settle and oxidize to form blackheads.
U can place a warm towel over u're face for a few mins and get u're blackheads extracted.. u don't need direct steaming.
