Botanical Facial Steams

Natural, hand-blended, botanical facial steams provide the perfect start to a home facial. We have a choice of three blends:

• 'Soothing' blends gentle and soothing rose petals, lavender and chamomile to leave skin cleansed and calm.
• 'Restoring' contains vibrant and aromatic blue cornflowers, rose petals, lavender and calendula, for cleansed and restored skin.
• 'Brightening' with beautiful hibiscus flowers, chamomile, rose petals and lemon verbena leaves, designed to leave skin cleansed and brightened.

Facial steaming can enhance your skincare and cleansing routine by allowing your pores to open, releasing impurities. Adding botanicals to a simple hot water steam introduces many more skin nourishing properties as well as a pleasing aroma and a beautiful bowl of petals!

Botanicals:

HIBISCUS: Believed to aid circulation and possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Hibiscus has an earthy, floral aroma. 
CHAMOMILE: Well known to have calming properties, chamomile may help with fatigue and stress and is also valued for its rejuvenating anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 
ROSE: In addition to the uplifting scent, rose is also believed to possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, aid circulation and relieve anxiety.
LEMON VERBENA: These delicately scented leaves are considered to be restorative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
BLUE CORNFLOWER: These pretty flowers are believed to possess restorative anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiseptic properties.
CALENDULA: This woody, honey scented flower is widely used in skin soothing products, is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
LAVENDER: Well known for promoting relaxation and calm, lavender is also used to treat troubled skin and possesses anti-microbial properties.

HOW TO USE:
Remove any make up/gently cleanse face before use. Put two table spoons of the botanical mixture into a heat proof bowl (such as a mixing bowl). Add 3-4 cups of just boiled water. Cover bowl with a towel and let it steep for 2-3 minutes. Place your head under the towel, close your eyes and hold your face far enough above the water to be comfortable. Breath normally for up to 10 minutes and allow the steam to relax and cleanse your skin. Take breaks when necessary.
Follow with a cleanse, facial treatments such as a mask, then moisturise and apply face oil/serum.
We recommend facial steaming just once a week.

Each 10g bag contains enough for at least two facial steams.

Bags are compostable and biodegradable.
