Putting your face over a bowl of boiling water for 2 to 3 min will instantly give your skin new life. Steam causes blood vessels in your skin to dilate allowing more blood to flow to the skin of your face while simultaneously clearing your skin of dirt and other toxins. This will leave your skin looking rosy and refreshed. Not to mention the steam will soften your skin and allow for better absorption of your serums and creams. Just be very careful when using hot water.

To reduce the bags under your eyes, soak a tea bag in cold water and place it over your eyes.
