The Home Facial Sauna to Cleanse, Purify and Moisturize your Skin.

Are you looking for a technique to keep a beautiful complexion all year round?

The facial sauna or the steam bath cleans, purifies and hydrates your skin at the same time and all for the price of a basin of water!

The facial sauna is a weekly relaxation moment that I love to offer myself and which, moreover, does not ruin me in any way.

how to do facial sauna to deep cleanse face

Equipment

- A small basin (or a salad bowl).

- A big bath towel

- Boiled water.

Step 1 - Preparation

A facial sauna will be all the more effective if it is carried out on previously clean and exfoliated skin.

So while I boil my water, I do a first quick cleansing with Aleppo soap then I apply a homemade scrub with green clay or a sugar scrub as I wish.

Step 2 - Instant steam bath as in an Institute

For the atmosphere, and especially to occupy myself while I will be stuck under the towel, I put on some music.

Garnish the basin with a handful of dried plants from your harvest (mint, rosemary, lavender ...) or 2 drops of essential oil (but then we close our eyes).

Fill the basin with the previously boiled water .. and let's go!

Take out the large towel. Put yourself on top of the basin and cover yourself with the towel for a good ten minutes.

Step 3 - After sauna

Immediately wipe your face with a small clean towel to remove the first impurities encrusted in the skin that came out. And there your skin is already very soft.

This is the best time to apply a toning, purifying or moisturizing mask. The skin is waiting for that and the active ingredients will penetrate more easily. Yeh!

The right plants

rosemary for a facial

There are many possibilities depending on the skin types but also depending on the current state of health or mood. I, for example, as a former smoker, I take advantage of my facial sauna to clear my airways with eucalyptus and savory.

The following table is a non-exhaustive summary of the main plants recommended for the facial sauna according to the type of skin:

Normal skin

NOTHING preferably, but if you really insist on sniffing something: lavender, chamomile, thyme or even rose

Oily skin

rosemary, thyme, peppermint, bergamot,

Dry skin

chamomile, marigold, rose, lavender, linden

Mixed skin

lavender, lemon

Sensitive skin

chamomile, comfrey, marigold

Final tips

- The facial sauna is strongly discouraged for blotchy skin. Pay attention.

- Avoid going out for the next hour so as not to catch a cold. It would be balot.

- Do not stay under the towel for more than 10 minutes. It is even advisable to stay there only 5 to 7 minutes.

Savings made

A basin and water, it is not very complicated to find. Dried plants can also be completely free of charge if you go pick your plants and then dry them with a dehydrator for example.

There are also devices on the market specifically for the facial sauna. less than 30 €. But personally I don't see the point to spend 20 € when you can do the same with a basin or a salad bowl. The results are the same and FREE.
