Results of Ass Flake Steam

Did the ass flakes steam. Not quite three days in a row due to yesterday's scheduled activities, but I got back onto the program today. Here are the results.

After the first steam:

• Skin was a bit red. Steam is hot, you know.
• Dripping. There was lots of dripping from the steam. Was it condensation? Pores being purged? Both?
  
• Got two pimples later that day, but skin was congested so the steam might've just brought them out.
  

After second steam:

• Less red this time.
  
• Skin looks a bit glowy and more evenly toned. Wondering if steam and Lush products are the holy grail of skin care.
• Got four pimples later that day. Yes, the same day. Yes, FOUR. But other two went down. Hm.. That was quick. The life cycle of a zit is usually much longer. Again, Lush or steam? Or both?

After third steam:

• More drippy this time. Water just poured off of me. It was gross.
  
• Looking glowy and smoother. Skin appears to be less congested. (Congested: Clogged pores. Either blackheads, milia or whiteheads. That zit that you know is just waiting to pop up.)
• Haven't developed any new pimples yet today and previous pimples are either going down or gone.

So, all in all, I'm rather encouraged by the results and will be giving my face a weekly steaming from now on. I will also keep using the Lush products I bought (Aquamarine, Coal Face (use only once a week or so, very drying), and Eau Roma Water) and plan on adding a moisturizer and/or eye cream from there in the future. No, I don't work for Lush. If I did, I'd spend my entire paycheck there.

More details about the ass flakes. They are an herbal laxative, in flake form, made by Swiss Kriss. The ingerdients are as follows: dried leaves of senna, licorice root, fennel, anise and caraway seed, dandelion, peppermint, papaya, strawberry and peach leaves, juniper berries, centaury, lemon verbena, cyani flowers and parsley.

If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, I strongly urge you to avoid using this product. You could probably get similar results from another herbal tea. Or you can make your own using any of the above ingredients listed.
