I was wondering if saunas do the same thing for your face, as a face mask would? They both seem to extract and clear pores, so could one be as good as the other?
If not, which one is generally better in your opinion? |

Awesome  I have a facial sauna at home and I figured it would be better than applying face masks, since they usually are more messy to use.
By the way, what are AHA's? |

Alpha Hydroxy Acids. You can steam your face a little to open your pores, pat/wipe the sweat off then apply the mask. Wait a few mins then re-steam. I'm a facial steamer evangelist. I have a pro face steamer so I can lay on my back and steam. They're pretty affordable and well worth the $$ in my opinion.
ETA: If you've never used AHAs I'd wait before steaming with an AHA mask just to be safe. |

| No, I've never had that problem. I only steam 2-3x per week and I have pretty tick, olive tone skin. So if you are prone to broken capilaries I would start off slow and find what works for you. |
