Each seasonal blend is inspired by and specially blended for each season though each may be used any time.

Facial Steams can be used on their own for a bit of relaxing deep-breathing self-care time or as part of your full Facial Care ritual. The herbs are not only beneficial to skin, but also provide many benefits—unique to each blend—as a steam when deeply inhaled.

Our herbal steam blends are formulated for both skin and respiratory health. All of the herbs we use are organic so can be enjoyed as a tea as well for additional internal benefits.

AUTUMN HERBAL STEAM is a vibrant mélange of autumnally evocative colors and aromas for skin nourishment and purification as well as mental calm and clarity.

SUMMER HERBAL STEAM is a vibrant herbal blend of nutritive botanicals beneficial for skin hydration, purification and deep cleansing of pores.

SPRING HERBAL STEAM is a pretty polychromatic assortment of purifying, soothing and nutritive botanicals for skin-nourishing hydration and deep cleansing of pores.

WINTER HERBAL STEAM is a sweet, spicy, woodsy blend providing nutritional and pore-reducing benefits for skin and comforting warmth for wintertime respiratory soothing.

How To Use:

1. Add a small handful of your herbal blend of choice to bowl and cover with water just off a boil (not too hot, be kind to your skin).

2. Cover the bowl with a towel large enough to enclose your head, neck and shoulders in a tent of sorts. When you’re ready and the warmth of the steam is tolerable, slip in and pull the towel around you to minimize escaping steam. Sweating is beneficial but suffocating is not. Make sure you’re regulating according to what your body is asking for.

3. Enjoy 5-15 minutes of slow deep breathing while you allow the botanical-infused steam to do its work. We encourage you to spend this time as a practice, releasing mental clutter, focusing on thoughts of gratitude and wishes of well-being for yourself and others. Thoughts of appreciation for our botanical allies is also encouraged. And set clear intentions for what you may wish to manifest if you have a desire in your heart.

4. Strain resulting tea through a mesh strainer and set aside to add to your bath for enhanced benefit.
