Facial Steam Recipes
One old fashioned, simple, but effective way of giving the skin a deep cleanse is to steam your face occasionally. I am a great believer in facial steaming as it removes pollution and dirt and dislodges dead skin cells, making them easy to remove. Hot towel methodA facial steam can be done very simply by filling a large bowl with very hot water and essential oils of your choice. Soak a face cloth in the mixture, rinse out the excess and pat it gentle all over your face, or alternatively place the cloth on one area, leave for a minute, and repeat the process until all areas of the face have been heated. When the heat goes out of the cloth, repeat the process 4 or 5 times. Boiling hot water in a bowlThe other more effective technique is to boil some water and place it in a bowl, then sit with your face over the steam for five minutes. This very simple technique has excellent results. However, if you have rosacea, sunburn, dilated or broken capillaries a steam treatment may make them worse. If you are asthmatic or have any lung conditions you would be best not to use any essential oils in the water unless you are confident your breathing will not be affected.
