how do your steam your face without a machine?

Question

if your trying to get rid of blackheads, how can you steam your face without one of those face steamers? just a warm cloth?

Answer 1

Boil some water. Pour it into a large bowl then use a towel to create a tent over the bowl and your head. I drop a bag a chamomile tea in the water which is believed to increase antibacterial activity.

Be sure to cleanse your face after and follow-up with a splash of cold water to close the pores.

Answer 2

Boil hot water. Pour it into a bowl then cover your head with a large towel. Bend forward (CAREFULLY SO YOU DON"T BURN YOURSELF!!!) and use the towel to create a tent over the bowl of water and your head. This will allow the steam to rise up to your face.

For blackheads you can also take a washcloth and soak it in hot/warm water. Place it on your trouble spots. That can help to draw the blackheads out.

Answer 3

Boil a kettle of water, pour into a big mixing bowl, put your face over it and cover your head,( including the bowl) with a big towel to prevent the steam from escaping. If it get too hot, move your face further away.

Answer 4

fill your sink with steaming water. put your face a few inches from the water and put a towel on the back of your head so there is no steam is getting out. i usually do it about 5 or 7 minutes.

Hahaha toilet paper. I will make sure I keep europe in mind when wiping my a** (only kidding. all in good fun) What would you do without the... telephone bifocals telegraph light bulb... dude...c'mon... the FREAKING LIGHT BULB is HUGE! The sewing machine the computer the cheeseburger texmex - Americanized mexican food - way better than Aberdeen Crulla. Coca Cola Britney Spears - god love her the airbag the fire sprinkler the internet email the atomic bomb the cotton swab napalm the computer mouse the laser dental floss cotton candy credit cards AND magnetic strips in credit cards K-Y jelly - for your European pleeasure the microwave oven monopoly And even the tea bag. Yes, my dear friend, the tea bag. Where would Europeans be without the teabag? Now I'm going to go drive down the highway system we borrowed from the Romans, pop my chineese fireworks, sit in my Sweedish made Ikea chair, eat my imported beef hot dogs, and maybe even use your fancy european toilet paper. Vive la America! *edit: the internet was invented by europeans? Nonsense. One word: DARPA! Okay, 3 words, DARPA, UCLA & Stanford. UCLA & Standford were sending emails way way before Warwick & Edinburgh.

boil a pot of water, turn off the heat, place your face over the steaming water and then make a 'tent' out of a towel and put it over your head and around the pot to catch the steam

Answer 8

run your sink full of hot hot water, get a towel, cover/drape it over your head, and lean your face into hot water, without actually touching the hot water-it'll burn. You can feel the sweat start, and you can feel your pores opening up! Works great! Think I'll do that tonight, matter of fact.

Boil water in a pot and put your face over it. Just don't get too close. And don't forget a towel.
