Nice Things To Do For You! - Aromatherapy

If you feel you absolutely HAVE to do something for your skin, one of the nicest things you can do is to gently steam it. (This is of course if you have not found steam an irritant to your skin.) Here's how to give yourself a nice Facial Sauna:

Pour boiling water (2 quarts of distilled water) over 2 tablespoons or 2 small handfuls herbs in a wide bowl
Drape a large bath towel over your head to make a steam tent
Do not let your face get too close to the bowl or you could cause steam burns. Basically, no closer than 1 foot from the bowl or pot.
Stay in tent 5-10 minutes breath the wonderful aroma given off by the herbs.
If it gets to hot at any time - lift the towel to get some fresh air.
Finish by splashing the face with cool water.

Some of the herbs or oils you could use:

apricot oil
lemon oil
cypress oil
lavender oil
Loose herbs: chamomile, elder blosson, mint, basil, rosemary (for oily skin), sage, slippery elm (for sensitive skin), comfrey leaf and root (for exceptionally troubled skin), strawberry leaf, raspberry leaf, acacia flower, lavender, rose petals.
