How to do an Herbal Facial Steam at home.
Things needed.
1. 2 teaspoons chamomile
2. Bay and Dandelion leaf
3. 5 cups (40oz) of boiling water
4. Towel, that you can drape over your head.
5. Bowl, You can adjust depending on how large or small your bowl.
Note: Chamomile is perfect for sensitive, reactive skin. It's anti-inflammatory and calms the skin down. Dandelion leaf helps to heal skin and balance complexion. Bay leaf aids in relieving puffiness. This face steam will bring you glowy skin.
Procedure:
* Fill a pot with about a quart of water and bring it to a boil.
* Remove it from heat and add the teas and bay leaf. Let the blend steep for 5–8 minutes, covered.
* Pour the water into a large heat-proof mixing bowl and place it on a table.
* Place a towel over your head to create a tent. Keep your face 12 inches from the water. Steam for 5 minutes if it’s your first time, and gradually work up to 10–12 minutes once you’re a seasoned pro.
* Rinse with lukewarm water, tone, and moisturize.
BENEFITS OF STEAMING
* ITS PREVENT ACNE. Steaming is an effective way to purge your pores of built-up dead skin cells, sebum, makeup, and toxins. The heat and moisture break down the gunk so it’s easier to extract dirt and blackheads.
* HELPS WITH PRODUCT ABSORPTION: The steam leads to increased permeability of the top layer of your skin which allows skincare products to sink in more easily for more effective results. When your pores are cleaned out, it makes it easier for skincare products to penetrate your skin.
* INCREASE CIRCULATION: It gives you a dewy glow. Steaming increases circulation, giving your skin a refreshed look. The high temperatures signal your brain to dilate your blood vessels in that area and increase circulation.
* HELPS HYDRATE YOUR SKIN: This may not be an obvious benefit of steaming face but there is a difference between hydrating your skin and moisturising your skin. Dehydrated skin means that it lacks water and facial steaming offers an unconventional way to provide your skin with the water it needs to remain hydrated and plump.
* EXFOLIATES THE SKIN: As you steam your face you are softening up the outer layer of your skin (dead skin) known as the stratum corneum, this, in turn, loosens up any debris and oil which is an alternate way to exfoliate that outer layer of skin.
* IT PROMOTE COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN. The increased blood flow experienced during a steam facial promotes collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, younger-looking skin.
* ITS AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE: You don’t need to dish out big bucks for a steam facial at a spa to enjoy the benefits; it can be done at home using items you already have.
