  7. Thyme: Thyme is a natural acne-fighting ingredient that has antibacterial properties. It can help banish bacteria, heal wounds, and fade hyper-pigmentation.

  8. Clove: Clove is rich in calcium, potassium, and vitamins A and C. It is believed to lessen the effects of aging on the skin.

  9. Allspice: Allspice provides a warming, spicy, clove-like aroma and contains eugenol, a naturally-occurring volatile chemical with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps clear pores, promote circulation, oxygenation, detoxification, and encourages deep, relaxed breathing.

  10. Mullein: Mullein is a gentle herb known for its affinity for the upper respiratory system. It exerts a mild sedative action on the lungs and has been traditionally used to support upper respiratory health.

  11. Additional Ingredients: The herbal blend also includes ingredients like peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, white camphor, cranberries, nutmeg, and sweet orange oil, contributing to its aromatic and therapeutic properties.

Usage Instructions:

To use the Winter Herbal Steam, follow these steps:

  1. Add a small handful of herbs to a bowl.
  2. Cover the herbs with boiling water.
  3. Allow the water to cool slightly, then place a towel over your head to create a steam tent.
  4. Breathe deeply and enjoy the steam for 5-15 minutes.
  5. Strain the resulting tea and use it in your next bath.

The steam is designed to open up pores, promote healthy skin, and provide a soothing experience, especially during the winter months.

Additional Skincare Benefits:

The herbal steam can be a valuable addition to your skincare routine. Regular steaming can help cleanse and clear your skin by delivering oxygen deep into your pores and aiding in the removal of dirt. It can be customized based on your skin type and preferences.

For oily or acne-prone skin, steaming for around five minutes, two or three times a week, can help remove dirt blockages and treat blemishes. Citrusy herbs and oils like grapefruit or lemon provide antiseptic action.

Dry or mature skin can benefit from the brightening effects of steam. While they don't need as much deep cleansing, herbs and oils like rose, lavender, and chamomile can nourish and cleanse.

Balancing the herbal blends and the regularity of steaming is essential to achieve the best results for your specific skin type.

How to Use a Facial Steam:

Follow these steps to use a facial steam:

  1. Start with a freshly cleansed face.
  2. Use distilled or filtered water for the best results.
  3. Boil 3 cups of distilled or filtered water.
  4. Add floral ingredients to the water and allow them to boil for 30 seconds.
  5. Remove from the heat source.
  6. Drape a towel over your head and lean over the bowl of steaming floral "tea," keeping your head at a comfortable distance.
  7. Steam for 5-15 minutes, turning your head occasionally to steam your entire face.
  8. After steaming, dip a Flannel Facial Cloth in the steeped tea water and wring it out. Pat your face gently to remove excess.
  9. Allow your face to dry slightly, and apply a light moisturizer, such as a facial serum.

Note: Excess water from the steam can be saved and used as a toner or floral treatment. Strain the solid ingredients and store the water in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Mist your face with the water in the morning or apply it after cleansing in the evening. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of witch hazel for oily skin if desired.
