Rejuvenating Herbal Face Steam
A relaxing way to open pores, moisturize skin, and improve blemishes and signs of aging.
Servings: 1 face steam
Equipment
- Large towel (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Filtered or distilled water
- 1 TBSP lavender flowers
- 1 TBSP horsetail
- 1 TBSP peppermint leaf
- 1 TBSP chamomile flowers
- 1 TBSP calendula flowers
- 1 lemon (sliced)
Instructions
- Place the water, lemon, and herbs in a clean pot and gently bring it to a boil with the lid on. This helps preserve more of the volatile oils.
- Turn the heat off and lean over the pot with your eyes closed. Be sure not to get too close or you’ll get a steam burn! I’ve found that as the water cools I’ll edge closer. You can also drape a towel over your head to trap more of the steam in.
- Once the pot is done steaming, compost your herbal face steam.
Notes
The herbs I used here can be mixed and matched with any skincare friendly herbs. Just aim for about 1/3 cup of herbs total.
