“The benefits of steaming have been known for centuries – steam baths were common in Ancient Greek and Roman times,” says celebrity facialist, Sarah Chapman. “Steaming is beneficial for most complexions, which is why nearly all facials at my Skinesis Clinic begin with a steam,” says Chapman. “Steaming warms and softens these dulling cells, making them easier to remove – when they are swept away, light can bounce off the newly smooth surface of the skin more effectively, creating a natural glow.”
