Is there any benefit to steaming or going into a sauna before a chemical peel?

Is there a point to getting a steam bath or a steam facial before a chemical peel? Maybe even the day or night before or maybe the same day so as to help slough off the dead skin as well as pure things from inside the pores to get the peel to penetrate more? Or, is there no actual science to this? Will it help at all? Is this good before facial extractions as well? Will it help soften blackheads and dead skin to be removed?
