Botanical Facial Steams
Botanical Facial Steams
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 internal benefits when deeply inhaled.
Choose from our 4 seasonally-inspired steams or the full set. Each steam offers a number of skin health as well a respiratory and nervous system benefits.
SPRING HERBAL STEAM is a polychromatic assortment of purifying, soothing and nutritive botanicals for skin-nourishing hydration and deep cleansing of pores.
SUMMER HERBAL STEAM is a vibrant herbal blend of nutritive botanicals beneficial for skin hydration, purification and deep cleansing of pores.
AUTUMN HERBAL STEAM is a brilliant mélange of autumnally evocative colors and aromas for skin nourishment and purification as well as mental calm and clarity.
WINTER HERBAL STEAM is a sweet, spicy, woodsy blend providing nutritional and pore-reducing benefits for skin and comforting warmth for wintertime respiratory soothing.
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.
How To Use:
Add a small handful of your herbal blend to bowl and cover with water just off a boil (not too hot).
Create a towel tent to maintain a steamy atmosphere inside.
Enjoy 5-15 minutes of slow deep breathing while you allow the botanical-infused steam to do its work. Try spending this time as a practice by releasing mental clutter, focusing on thoughts of gratitude and wishes of well-being for yourself and others. Expressing appreciation for our botanical allies is also encouraged. It can be a good time to set intentions, enjoy calming sounds or soak in some silence.
Strain resulting tea through a mesh strainer and set aside to add to your bath or let cool and give to your garden.
