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.
