Get the Glow - from Steam to Gleam
July 1 // à la Zoe Williams
For the past few months I have been telling anyone who would listen about my facial steamer. Steaming is my newest obsession that I have seamlessly incorporated into my self-care routine and actually stuck with. Not only have I noticed a vast difference in the glowiness of my complexion, but steaming gives me a dedicated 10-15 minutes where I can truly relax and disconnect.

The nice thing about steaming is that you can incorporate it into your routine as time allows whether that’s daily or strictly as a self-care Sunday ritual. I love using my Ionic Facial Steamer by Vanity Planet because it creates steam in an “instantly gratifying” 45 seconds versus having to wait for water to boil, but each method is effective.
P.S. Use your steam time as a chance to plug into your favorite mediation app for a full mind + body experience.
