Herbal Facial Steam

A facial stream made with fresh parsley (Petroselinum crispum), rosemary (Rosemarinus officinaluis), mint and lemon cuts through the oil and cleans the face throughly. Use a facial steam once or twice a week, and follow with a gently facial scrub and then a facial moisturizer.

Herbal Facial Steam how-to:

2 quarts water
1/2 cup fresh parsley, coarsley chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fresh mint, coarsley chopped
1/2 lemon, sliced
1/2 lime or grapefruit, sliced or diced

Place water, herbs and fruit in a large pot, cover with a lid and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Remove from the heat and steep for 5 minutes more. Place the pot on a table and remove the lid. Using a large bath towel or tea-towel, make a tent over your head and the pot together. Make sure your head has enough clearance from the pot, for it will be rather hot still from boiling. Steam your face for 10 minutes, using care to not burn yourself. Finish with a gently facial scrub or a mask. Follow those steps with a good skin-balancing facial moisturizer.
