  1. You can put wet washcloths in a veggie steamer and get them nice and hot. Make sure you cool them a little by shaking them in the air and test the heat on your arm skin. If you can put on your arm with out it burning then slowly try your face skin. Steam your face with this hot wash cloth or hold your head over a bowl steaming water with a towel covering your head to trap steam. Let steam for a good minute.
