Applying steam to the skin is one of the best, simplest, and most effective ways to provide deep skin cleansing and relaxation. Whether dealing with the whole body or just the face the benefits include: Relief for muscle soreness and stiff joints, immune system enhancement, sinus congestion relief, lymph detoxification, and improvement in blood circulation which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin's surface and overtime this can help contribute to a healthy, glowing appearance.
Steam efficiently softens skin in addition to also loosening harmful residue – allowing the deep-seated grime and dead skin cells to be flushed out. As a result, there are hardly any debris that a steaming treatment cannot fight – be it blackheads, dead skin cells, pollution… even makeup. It has become commonplace to have a steam treatment as a full-service menu item or as an add-on treatment.
Therefore, we have included several different steam treatments in hopes to inspire you with new thoughts and ideas on how to update or revitalize your service menu.
