Here is an easy facial steam to give yourself a home herbal spa for a fraction of the price!
Ingredients:
• 4 cups of water
• 1/4 cup dried Herbs*
• cooking pot/Bowl
1. Bring water to boil in pot
2. Add herbs, cover and turn off heat
3. After 2 minutes, uncover, give the herbs a stir, and remove from stove
To Use:
1. Place pot on counter or where you will be comfortable with your face about 6” above it. Drape a large towel over your head and allow it to hang down around the pot so that it catches the vapors and steam.
2. Keeping a comfortable distance, try and stay under the towel as long as you comfortably can.
3. Your skin will be baby soft!
Tips:
1. Dry Skin: Rose petals , lavender flowers, chamomile
2. Normal Skin: Mints, lemon balm
3. Oily: Sage, rosemary
4. You can use 3 – 5 drops of *essential oils in replace of herbs.
This is the same treatment that a salon would do for triple the price. You may feel itchy and a tingling sensation, this is normal. It is your skin reacting to increased circulation caused by the steam.
Continue this weekly, itchiness will decrease and the increase circulation will leave your face aglow.
Keep the herb solution and put it in a spray bottle: spray to refreshen your room, spray on your face as a toner, and spray on counters after they are wiped down.
