when steam in the bathroom hits the cold surface . have u heard of the fog in the mirror is condensation of the water vapor as it touches a colder surface.now the vapor coming from the hot shower will mostly condense right there and will not reach the mirror.
at the same time the mirror is heated by hot dry air.then the condensation of the water vapor becomes less likely on the warmer surface. For air containing a certain amount of moisture. there is a maximum temperature at which the water will condense.this is called the dew point.so no fog will form it will just condense.
