Ingredients:
- 1 cup of mixed herbs of your choice. Lavender, green tea and chamomille are my favourites.
Steps:
- Add the herbs to a teapot. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the herbs and steep for about 10 minutes.
- When the herbs are finished steeping, fill a clean bathroom sink halfway with very hot water (you can also use a big bowl). Pull up a chair that will allow you to hang your head over the chosen container, then add the herbal infusion to the water.
- Put a large bath towel over your head and shoulders to create a “tent” over the container and steam your face and neck for 3 to 5 minutes (not more than 7, in any case!). If the water cools, add hot water as needed to produce more steam.
- After steaming, splash your face and neck with lukewarm water and pat (not rub) dry with a clean, fluffy towel.
- Optional, but highly encouraged!: A post-steam facial massage to keep skin moist and soft. Simply put a tiny dash of your favourite moisturizer to your fingers, then gently massage your forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck using small, inward circles.
