A question about cleansing your facial pores. Please help.?

I've heard this said a few time on yahoo answers and I'm just wondering if it really does work. Does the method of holding your face over a bowl/sink of hot water with a towel over your head for 15/20mins really help with cleaning your face? Can anyone who does it say it really works?

No, despite what many people think, steaming your face is not helpful.





First of all, pores don't open and close. They don't have nerves attached to them that allow them to do that, so they are always the same size. They may seem larger if they're filled with oil and other gunk, but they don't open and close.





Secondly, steaming your face can actually make you break out. Steaming makes the inside walls of your pores stick together, which could block them off, thus causing a pimple. It's best to avoid doing anything that's very hot and steamy, which includes long hot showers, saunas, and steaming your face by placing your face over a bowl of hot water.





If you want your pores to be really clean and pure, try a good cleansing clay mask. I suggest you use Olay Daily Facials Intensives Deep Cleansing Clay Mask. It draws out all of the oil and dirt and other impurities from your pores, leaving your skin and pores smooth and clean.A question about cleansing your facial pores. Please help.?
yea i think so!
All it does is open you pores so you can remove blackheads painlessly and easily
It really works i make all my own facial products and if u put things like oil like tee tree oil in the hot water it gets into ur pores and drains them cleaning them out just make sure u close them after with a toner before any dirt gets into them. In the end it makes your skin look great and makes your pores appear smaller!
it doesnt clean your face.it opens your pores so you can remove blackheads.i use a cleanser to to clean my face at least once a day
Yes it works, but....., later you must take a cotton and pur onit Mineral Water, (not Mineralized), then clean your face, and then close your pores with cold clean watter, also it can help that after you clean it with mineral water mix some sulfa with half lemon and set it in your face, it can feel as burning but its cleaning from any infection, then when its dry, you clean this mixture with cold water if you feel any reaction stop doing it, if not, you can continue doing it twice a week. And no more acn茅 or black pores. :)
it opens your pores but you should use a cleaner like clean and clear after you open your pores.
no, cause hot water opens pores! You need to wash you face in cold water to close them.
