This herbal steam contains beautiful, colorful flowers and deeply purifying aromatic herbs to cleanse and nourish the skin while calming and soothing the soul.  The gorgeous red rose, yellow calendula and blue cornflowers in this steam will open up in steaming water, creating a gorgeous abstract botanical “painting”.  Using this steam will open pores, facilitating the release of impurities, while simultaneously nourishing and hydrating the skin.  Great for dehydrated or break out prone skin.  For best results, follow immediately with a mask.

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Place 1-2 TBSP of the herbal blend in a large bowl. Pour steaming water over the herbs. Position face over the bowl and cover with a towel to seal in the herbal steam. Remain over steam with eyes closed for 10-15 minutes. Take a deep breath and enjoy this moment of serenity! For best results, follow with a mask.

Tip: Get the most out of your steam by mixing the herbal water created by the steam with a clay mask and/or adding it to bath water.

Steaming is not just about skin care, it is also about self-care. Before steaming, take a moment to prepare your space for comfort. Dress in some comfy clothes, drink plenty of water, and turn off your phone. Set up the steam in a comfortable place and turn on relaxing music if you wish. Settle into the steam and take this moment, while the steam is working, to decompress and be in the moment. Take a few deep breaths, and thank yourself for taking the time to take care of you.
Cornflowers // Vibrant blue flowers that can have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Calendula // A skin savior, this yellow flower has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is a cooling herb, used to support healthy skin and heal minor wounds.

Rose Petals // Rose petals are synonymous with love, and when found in skincare products with anti-aging. You might be wondering, is rose worth all the hype? A Korean study recently found that rose petals actually help block age-causing enzyme activity and also helps your skin absorb vitamin C (a great anti-aging ingredient itself). So go ahead, indulge in a little rose!

Tulsi // Tulsi is a sacred Ayuverdic herb that is considered to be a goddess, mother medicine of nature, incarnated in plant form. The plant looks similar to common basil, but has an intoxicating aroma that resembles a blend of cinnamon, peppermint, clove, basil, and licorice. It is considered to be a balancing and grounding herb, good for many types of ailments. The essential oil found in the leaves has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and adaptogenic properties (both stimulating or sedative, depending on what your body needs).

Peppermint // Peppermint has a high menthol content, which contributes to its cooling effect. It is a stimulant, increases circulation, has anti-inflammatory properties and clears energy.

Lemon Verbena // Leaves that have a strong lemon scent due to its citral and geraniol content. Supports healthy skin flora and can help tone, firm and freshen a complexion. The aroma is relaxing to the body and mind.

Love it!

I use this twice a week in conjunction with the Hibiscus Exfoliating Mud. It smells wonderful, and the whole process is so relaxing. My skin feels so soft, and I have seen a definite reduction in my acne. Wonderful for the body and soul!

Very Relaxing!

I used this before doing one of my homemeade clay masks and it definitely helped open up my pores and made the mask more effective. The experience of the steam is also wonderful! There is a very subtle floral scent and the heat is very calming and made me feel pampered.
