Boil the 3 cups distilled water. Remove from heat and add the herbs
to steep, with the lid on the pot, for about 5 minutes. Now, place the
pot of herbs in a safe, stable place where you can sit comfortably for
10 minutes. Use a bath towel to create a tent over your head,
shoulders, and steaming herb pot. With your eyes closed, breathe
deeply and relax as you cleanse your pores with this wonderful,
fragrant steam.
Important note: Please allow 8 to 10 inches between the steaming
herb pot and your face so you wont' risk burning your skin.
Rinse with tepid, then cool, water. Follow up with a mask and then a
moisturizer.
