Do you mean your skin was dry and flaky? I've never done the steaming technique before, but perhaps you might try using a light moisturizer after you're done (but before your face has completely dried)..?
Along those lines, I actually have a related question myself. About every other day I use Jason Apricot Scrubble - it's like this facial scrub & mask (I use it as a scrub mostly) with rather fine exfoliating granuals. But after I use it, my skin becomes dry and feels somewhat 'tight'. It's better if I use some moisturizer afterwords, but I don't know if that undo's what the scrub does in terms of pore-refining and whatnot. Heh, sorry my question's not very clear -- what do you suggest I do to solve the dryness and tightness? I mainly use the scrub to get rid of blackheads and pimples. Thanks!
