⨠Why We Donât Use Facial Steaming â¨
At The Little Owl Spa, every decision we make is based on science and whatâs best for your skinânot trends.
While facial steaming may feel relaxing, the truth is:
đĄď¸ It has no proven benefit for skin health.
Instead of âopening poresâ (which isnât actually possible), steaming simply stimulates sweat glandsâleading to more oil production, not less.
Hereâs what else steaming can do:
đŤ Trigger inflammation in sensitive or acne-prone skin
đŤ Worsen conditions like rosacea and eczema
đŤ Disrupt the skin barrier, leading to dehydration or irritation
đŤ Spread bacteriaâespecially dangerous for active breakouts
We believe in gentle, effective treatments that truly support your skinâs natural function. Thatâs why we skip the steam and focus on methods that workâlike cold compresses, proper exfoliation, and professional extractions (if needed), all with products your skin will love.
Your skin deserves more than outdated myths. đ
