Herbal Facial Steam and Eye Treatment - All skin types by MisticalAcScents.etsy.com

One of our spa quality herbal products!

 

These cost a fortune in spas, but they are so simple at home. And the results are visible immediately!

 

Just pop the muslin bag into a large pot of boiling water. Move the pot off the stove and onto another surface where you can easily put your face over it, and drape a towel over your head to catch the steam. When the pot begins to cool and there is less steam, return the pot to boiling and repeat. I don't recommend doing this for more than 20 minutes all tolled, and the steam should never burn you. However, a slight tingling sensation of circulation can be felt that will fade as your skin normalizes. For best results, facial steams are recommended once a week, and the effect is cumulative.

 

And the bonuses don't stop after the steam! The herbs I use are beneficial for all skin types, and especially the eyes. Use the spent bags as a treatment for baggy, puffy eyes or for any other problem areas.

 

All ingredients organic where possible. I designed this product to work with any other regime. I made this originally for myself, as I couldn't find it on the market made with quality ingredients as well as reasonably priced. You'll see these in boutiques and spas for four times the amount! Environmentally friendly with all natural, biodegradable ingredients.

 

Price is for three packets. $2 off shipping with the purchase of two items. Three or more and shipping is free! To save on packaging and shipping, as well as the burden on the Earth, I do not ship these in singles. Three bags for $7 or one bag can be sent with the purchase of another product for $3.
