Herbal Facial Steam

One really cool thing you can do for your face is a weekly face steam and don't worry you do not have to have a professional face steaming spa machine to do this. You are welcome to buy a steamer machine to use if your finance provides it, how ever if you are like me a simple and cost efficient is the way to go. You will need 1/2 cup of dried calendula, 1/2 cup of dried lavender, 1/2 cup of dried rose petals, 1/2 cup of dried chamomile. Poor about 4 cups of water in a clean pan and boil it, than poor your boil water over the dried herbs. Strain herbs out from the water, pour your herb mix water in a bowl and use a regular towel to create a tent over your head. Stay under the tent for about 3 to 7 minutes to steam your face. After you are done follow up with a cleanser than remember to exfoliate, after wards you want to follow up with a toner or even an astringent to make sure your pores are close up.
