My skin has gone so dull this pregnancy and i was thinking of doing a little facial steam at home like i used to. But then i got worried whether the heat is okay now. Did any of u do steaming during pregnancy?
A short facial steam is fine na, my family always said dont sit in too much heat for long during pregnancy. Keep water warm not scalding. If your skin is sensitive these days, ask your doctor once.
For the face specifically, a few minutes is generally considered ok. The main thing to avoid is overheating your whole body. If you have any skin condition or high BP, just confirm with your gynac to be safe.
Light steaming on the face for a couple minutes is generally ok, I did it for my skin. Just dont overheat yourself. Anything beyond face like steam rooms or saunas, better skip and ask doctor if unsure.
Gentle facial steam for few mins is usually fine, just keep it short and not too hot. I did it occasionally both pregnancies. Avoid very long hot sessions or full body steam baths though.
