Botanical Steam Sauna
Did you know that you can use herbs, flowers & botanical extracts to create the perfect steam-sauna for your face?
This is my favorite at-home spa treatment. It is deeply relaxing for the mind, is cleansing & nourishing the skin ( even BEYOND the surface), AND it supports respiratory health!
Preparing this steam sauna for your face weekly will have you aging backwards due to…
- improved blood circulation
- your products being able to penetrate deeper into the skin
- your skin staying hydrated for longer periods of time
- acne causing bacteria & sebum being released from your pores
- softer, more glowy skin
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- large glass or ceramic bowl
- herbs / flowers ( facial steam sauna kit )
- aftercare: Ayanna’s Infusions cleanser, toner & facial butter/oil of choice
DIRECTIONS:
First, add at LEAST 3 scoops of the herbs to a large glass or ceramic bowl, then pour boiling water on top and cover for 2 minutes. Then, top it off with more boiling water to get it as steamy as possible.
Cover your head over the bowl with a towel to trap in the heat, moisture & nutrients being released by the stream. Breathe deeply ( the herbal infused steam is really good for your lungs! ) and stay there for up to 5 minutes, then rinse your face with warm water and follow up with your Ayanna’s Infusions cleanser, toner & facial butter/oil of choice.
I do not advise exfoliating your skin immediately after steaming but my facial mask (Cactus Sand) would be amazing to use after steaming.
Each Facial Steam Sauna Kit comes with 4oz of skin-health boosting herbs with herb with blends that will vary on a weekly basis. This week’s blend is called GINGER GARDEN.
GINGER GARDEN:
Rose petals, hibiscus, ginger root, burdock root, dandelion root
I will be switching up the Botanical Steam Sauna blend every week, according to availability of herbs in the lab. Feel free to email me directly if you have any requests for upcoming blends ( you can let me know if you want something citrusy, minty, etc! ) or any questions regarding your at-home facial spa.
Love always,
Yanna
