A method for treating the skin involves a first stage of softening the skin by projecting steam including treatment material on to it, causing the pores to open and the material to penetrate the outer skin surface. Thereafter the pores are caused to close e.g. by projecting an astringent composition on to the skin. Apparatus to effect this is described. One form includes a sealable chamber into which a quantity of liquid treatment preparation may be placed and heated to vaporise it and project the vapour via a nozzle (10) on to the skin surface, at a distance suitable for the treatment and established by a spacer (17) projecting from the side of a housing (1) containing the chamber and nozzle (10), and means (11) to trigger dispensing of the vapour when actuated.

A method of treating skin comprising softening skin to open pores of the skin by projecting steam including treatment material onto the skin, and thereafter causing the pores of the skin to close with retention of the treatment material projected therein.
An apparatus for beauty treatment comprising means for projecting a warm or hot stream of treatment material carried by a stream of vaporized liquid onto a skin surface, including a nozzle structured for passage of vapor and treatment agent therethrough, and located downstream of the nozzle, a spacer adapted to define a distance between the nozzle and an area of the skin surface to be treated, and means for projecting an astringent composition onto the skin surface.
