Herbs for Facial Steaming

     Herbal facial steaming loosens debris, softens skin and unclogs pores, releasing toxins and impurities.  Steaming hydrates by adding moisture, increases circulation and relieves tension.  Your skin will look more vibrant and alive, naturally.

 

     When I buy herbs, I always purchase Certified Organic, but I also use a lot of herbs from my garden that are grown without the use of chemicals, insecticides and pesticides.

 

     Following are suggestions for various blends, feel free to adjust, eliminate, or add your favorite herbs, the combinations are endless.   I don’t really measure, basically, I use a pinch of each herb, some more than others.

Dandelion Root, Comfrey Root, Licorice Root and White Willow Bark.
