Dilate pores gently without rough physical scrubbing. Inhale warm steam infused with chamomile, sage, and rosemary.

Thermal facial steaming is a time-tested skin ritual. By suspending your face over purified boiling water infused with organic dried herbs, your skin releases deep environmental impurities while absorbing calming botanical compounds directly.

A simple home steam ritual:

1. Bring filtered water to a boil in a wide ceramic bowl.
2. Add one tablespoon each of dried chamomile, sage, and lavender.
3. Allow to steep for two minutes.
4. Drape a large linen towel over your head and lean over the bowl.
5. Steam for five to eight minutes at a comfortable distance.
6. Pat dry immediately. Apply a clay mask or serum while pores are open.

Steam once per week. Never steam broken or very sensitive skin.
