Facial steam baths with essential oils

Directions for use

Depending on your skin type, pour the ingredients listed in the table below into a bottle and shake vigorously. Leave to stand for 3-4 days to allow the oils to amplify their effects (synergy). Store this mixture away from air and light. Shake before use.

1. Prepare a large terry towel to cover the head, another to wipe the face, and a large bowl (ideally a salad bowl).
2. Wash face thoroughly.
3. Heat 2 liters of water (non-chlorinated, like spring water) and pour into the bowl.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of one of the blends in the table, or 2 drops of pure essential oil of your choice.
5. Immediately place the towel over your head to form a kind of tent around the pan.
6. Close your eyes and keep your face tilted at about 20 cm from the surface of the water. Stay in this position for 5 to 10 minutes. If the heat is too intense, move your face away from the water.
7. If your skin is dry or shows signs of blood vessels, apply a thin layer of moisturizer beforehand and hold your face 40 cm from the surface of the warm water.
8. Rinse off with cool water and dry.
9. After-steam skin care: Normal to oily skin: Use a gentle exfoliating scrub and apply a moisturizing lotion, cream or oil. Dry and sensitive skin: Apply a moisturizing cream and/or oil directly.
