The Best Essential Oils for Face Steaming
There are many essential oils suitable for face steaming for a number of different reasons. I find that each essential oil has its own use and benefit for my skin. Here are a few essential oils I would recommend for face steaming and how they help to nourish and hydrate my skin all year round.
Eucalyptus Oil
Eucalyptus oil is high in antioxidants helping to prevent a build-up of dirt and debris by increasing ceramide synthesis and hydrating your skin. Eucalyptus is the perfect essential oil to use when steaming your face if you are looking to protect your skin from stress and treat acne or dermatitis.
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is a natural essential oil for cleansing the skin and clearing blocked pores that can lead to facial acne. Peppermint oil helps to relieve skin irritation by providing antiseptic and anti-inflammation benefits.

If you are looking for a natural alternative to help combat age appearance then try steaming your face with oregano oil! Oregano oil helps to achieve smooth and seamless-looking skin by healing skin acne and reducing irritation and readiness.
Lavender Oil
I recommended using lavender oil before you go to bed to help relax and soothe your mind and body for a fantastic night’s sleep! This essential oil works for all skin types and contains antibacterial properties to soothe and protect the skin.
