Holding the face over a bowl of hot water (or using a dedicated steamer) for 8–10 minutes, 1–2x per week. Steam softens the keratin plugs in pores, making them dramatically easier to clear. Always follow with a BHA or clay mask to extract what the steam loosened, then close pores with cold water.

Combined with a salicylic mask right after — pores visibly smaller in 3 weeks.

Blackheads extract so much more easily after steaming. Game changer for my routine.
