New! Three choices of Herbal Steamers for your at-home use!
Pore Refining Herbal Steamer is perfect for anyone who has concerns about enlarged pores, sun damage and hardened skin.
Sense & Sensitivity Herbal Steamer is designed to sooth and restore sensitive skin. Remember: those with sensitive skin should consult their Skin Care Provider before steaming at home. Please keep your face at least one foot from the bowl!
Clear Complexion Herbal Steamer is exactly what breakout-prone skin is looking for. The herbs help to release congestion without spreading infection.
How to use:
Never steam dry, unprotected skin. Apply a layer of Nourish & Replenish Oil, Cow Fart Juice, or NO EVIL over your skin before leaning over steam.
Place One oz (about a shotglass) of herbs in a large bowl and secure in a safe place. Pour about one quart of boiling water over the herbs and sit comfortably nearby. Lean over bowl (about 10 to 15 inches away) and use a towel to create a "tent around the steam". Inhale and enjoy!
CAUTION: Boiling water is VERY HOT and can BURN YOU! Do not get too close to the steam. Do not pour boiling water into a plastic bowl as it may melt and hurt you. Do not put boiling or very hot water directly on the skin!
While you enjoy your steam for ten to fifteen minutes, you can even give yourself a lovely facial massage (see facial massage page).
Another fun idea is to let the steam bath cool and strain the plant pieces out of the water--pressing out as much of the "goodness" as you possibly can. You can then take this water and store it in a glass bottle (preferably with a spray top) in your refrigerator. This Herbal Infusion is now a lovely toner that will stay good for up to a week. (If it starts to smell funny before that, let it go. When in doubt--throw it out!)
