How to Facial Steam: Benefits for The Skin
Benefits of Facial Steaming
This facial method has been used for decades and has even resulted in brands creating 'facial steamers', I'm happy to tell you don't waste your money or time on one of these gadets as all you need is a bowl, kettle, bath towel and our Beauty Base tea blend to create your very own spa-like facial steam.
A facial steam encourages the pores to gently open in the same way a heat pad or hot tub helps tense muscles relax. It allows the face to sweat and naturally cleanse by removing dirt and oils with it. Steam is made up of little water particles, when steeped in our Beauty Base tea blend it will carry each ingredients properties with it and penetrate deep into your pores allowing your skin to absorb the volatile oils and skin benefits it has to offer.
Our Beauty Base Facial Steam will help to deeply cleanse the face, soothe and calm irritated skin, strengthen connective tissue, brighten and even skin-tone while tightening and holding moisture to come out with supple radiant skin.

Bring 1L of water to a boil (212 F)
Set up your hot water safe bowl in the position you will be doing the facial steam, a table top and chair that you'll be comfortable sitting in hunched over for 10 - 15 minutes
Pour 5 - 8 teaspoons of Beauty Base tea into the bottom of the bowl
Pour hot water over top of the loose leaf tea about 3/4 of the way full
Take a comfortable seat and drape your bath towel over the back of your head
Lean forward over top of the steam and cover your head and the bowl with the towel, deeply inhale and take breaks as needed
Caution: The water and steam are very hot, feel free to let it cool slightly before steaming your face and feel free to test it before fully comitting with the towel.
When to Facial Steam
Practicing a a facial steam weekly is a great way to deeply cleanse your face from daily pollutants and toxins found in the air or during the warmer seasons when sunscreen is heavily used. It is also a great way to reduce skin irritation and acne during breakouts from your cycle or if certain foods tend to make you purge.
Facial steams are a beautiful practice to gently and naturally treat your skin to a little spa-like moment or enhance your weekly at-home facial routine.
