Looking for a gentler alternative to harsh exfoliating treatments? A steam facial uses warmth and moisture—an approach people have relied on for centuries—to soften the skin, loosen surface buildup, and prepare it to better receive the products and treatments that follow.
At our private Staten Island studio, steam is incorporated into several of our facials, including the Deep Cleansing Facial and European Facial, performed one-on-one by a licensed esthetician. We also welcome clients who travel from Brooklyn and other parts of New York for this calming, skin-softening step.
If harsher treatments leave your skin irritated, or you simply want a calmer way to help your skin feel clearer and more hydrated, steam may be a comfortable fit. Your esthetician will always confirm it's suited to your skin before including it in your facial.

Facial steaming has been used for hundreds of years to help lift dirt and buildup from the skin's surface while supporting a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion. Warm steam helps loosen surface debris, boosts the skin's hydration, and can make it easier for serums and treatment products to penetrate more effectively afterward.
Delivered through a professional facial steamer, this gentle warmth helps soften the skin, ease clogged pores, and leave the complexion looking calmer and more even. On its own, steam is generally milder than direct exfoliating treatments—which is exactly why it pairs so well as a preparatory step within a full facial. Your esthetician will assess your skin and recommend whether steam should be part of your treatment.
