A botanical facial steam can be a lovely part of an occasional home ritual. Keep the steam gentle, the bowl stable and your face well back from the hot water.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon dried calendula petals
- 1 teaspoon dried chamomile or lavender
- 500 ml freshly boiled water
Method
- Place the dried herbs in a wide, heatproof bowl on a stable surface.
- Pour over the freshly boiled water and wait 1 to 2 minutes.
- Keeping your face at least 30 cm from the water, close your eyes and enjoy the gentle steam for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Move away immediately if the steam feels too hot.
- Allow the water to cool completely before straining and discarding it.
Good to know
There is no need to add essential oils. They can be too concentrated for steam close to the face and eyes.
Safety: Hot water can cause serious burns. Adults only. Do not carry or balance the bowl while steaming. Skip this recipe if your skin is very sensitive to heat or botanicals.
