Hey! I was about to do a video for my viewers about whether steaming and hot showers are good or bad for acne... I knew they weren't good, but that's interesting about the top layer of skin swelling. Thanks for the tip Fran, you rock :)

[2ejs9]

you need to eat something (no offence)

[girlpop363]

the hole thing about steaming your face and how oh its so bad thats bull crap i steam my face and i used to have such bad acne and then i started stemming my face and its really helped me alot so if your gonna say its bad for you face then your damn stupid :P

[ejreams]

@girlpop363 you're damn stupid, some people have really sensitive skin and it does indeed make it worse.

and its whole.

[xlovemebitch]

Well, hot steam opens up your pores so that's why hot showers are good for preparing your skin to be exfoliated or cleansed. However, with your pores open, it traps more bacteria so it's best to use cold water or rub ice onto your skin after cleansing it to close your pores.

I typed in "hot facial" and got this video.... very disappointed.

[ncfwhitetigress]

[BigNathan2008]

So is she saying if we overload our liver, i.e. eat a lot, that can cause acne?

[ejreams]

@DerekChaunessey No, if you eat a lot of junk food it can affect your acne,

but some people have liver problems or a weak liver and that can be a link to ones acne conditions.

hello :] How is australia?

[1990nintendo]

im not pro on acne but i do have it and i do know its the a bitch,but what i also know is acne is provoked my certain foods could be dairy could be red meats could be all these chemicals u read in chip bags or bread bags that u cant even pronounce

[RforStreetD]

yes, she';s truly right because my dermatologist said that I can't do hot showers since I do my treatment , diet and others advices for acne.

[JaCinTha0]

It's really confusing, because there's a video on the side from 'Howcast' and that woman takes a steam facial against acne. They say that works... I haven't tried it yet, and I don't think i'm going to do it since you've said you shouldn't. But I'm really in a doubt right now....

I have mild acne on the T-zone Don't know what type... My skin is often red on that places. --- Is + - 37 'C too hot for a shower?

Question: Does anybody know if Zink is any good? I've read it helps with acne...

[4lv2liveinlove0]

ive heard that too

[rajkumarijaan2]

i just have one question for u... how do u get rid of cycstic acne if i have tried everything like u??

[natgurl15]

they say you are suppose to steam your face to exfoliate your skin and it helps clear acne

[ManOfSteel2627]

are you saying hot showers are bad for acne? i'm only 14 now and iv'e had acne for over 1 year and my life is....another way to say it: it would be better in hell then having acne!.......... so your saying hot shower are bad for acne? i take shower with extremely hot water! reply if it isn't good!

[myown2101]

Try it... It's just Omega fatty acids, also you can try fresh flax seed oil or hem oil (read the dosage carefully!) . Thees oils are very high in Omega fatty acids and very good for your skin plus thay come from plant source...:-)

[XZoZoX2020X]

hey, before i use a face mask (from lush) i steam my face and so far it has been fine :s

so i'm really confused now =(

i heard that saunas and steaming were good for spots, i boil a kettle then put it in a pirex bowl, leave it for a couple of minutes then put my head over it, about 4 inches away with a towel over my head then put my facemask on. x

and wow your skin looks great!

[SexyEgyptian07]

you should be a dermatoligist :)

[hrithikzgirl83]

You look great in this video, Fran.

Thanks for answering my question!

When you're away from home, do you still continue your yoga and meditation?!

[fml5119]

chicken pox is like acne when it turn like a spot so they say hot showers r good for chicken pox . so lukewarm water cause acne ?

[1lastsoldier]

i like the room your in, it's nicely furnished.

[corncake3000]

Great video.

& u look absolutly gorgous in this video Fran :)

[rae629]

r u sure hot showers r bad for acne

cuz according to skin types

oily skin is better with hot water

n dry skin isnt good for it

[AoACorpus11]

I've been doing a tea tree oil steam for about 10-15 mins about 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks and my skin seems to have gotten better and less red. I think I have candida. So I should stop? Maybe it's just making it look better now but im in store for a big break out later? I'll ask you on your blog once this vid is uploaded there.

Thnx for the Video Fran!!!

[derriknoack]

hey the vitamin guy at whole foods told me to double up on fish oil-

you know anything about this?

[Yggdrasil14]

the idea is that the many antioxidants in fish oil are good for your skin, and for your heart. But watch out! For some people the Omegas have a bad affect on your heart and can mess up it's electrical signals and therefore your hearts timing, so if you feel a pain in your chest, stop taking it.

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

Just dont let shower water hit your face. I never do.

[jessicablair13]

i use a cloth with hot water and put it on my face should i stop?

[Simpliciteey]

ive omitted lotsof things from my diet and ive come to the conclusion that maybe my own hormones are causing the problem for my cystic acne ...do you know of what can help me with these raging hormones taht make my skin go crazy? ive tried omitting soymilk...but...my parents keep buying and i need my dairy right? ^-^

[mesquitemagic]

Have you talked to a Dermatologist or even your regular doctor? Cystic acne is generally caused by bacteria trapped under your skin. You may need antibiotics, topical, oral, or both.

[jeanna17]

have you ever heard of Astaxanthin? i have read it can help skin and reduce hyper pigmentation.

[skwirel22]

seriously?! hot showers are bad? i never even thought of that. i take one everyday....and i always use hot water when i wash my face. amazing.

[katisparty]

man i love that bathtub in the background.

i was wondering if you knew anything about getting rid of acne scars. i have severe acne but its kinda let up. and the scars are horrific. ugh but yeh!

[dorkyrab87]

pretty.

[sstupidssmile]

Your skin looks great in this video!

[mrsnetizen]

Skin problems are a sign of thyroid disorders. Sweating for no reason, oily skin, and dry skin are all symptoms.

[Wivanunu]

How do you stabilize your thyroid? What type of food are good for your thyroid? I know that there are serious thyroid auto-immune diseases that need meds. But are there thyroid issues that are related to other things?

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

Well not all hormonal imbalances are from thyroid disorders
