YIELDS:

1 pint

3⁄4 cup dried comfrey

5 tablespoons dried lavender flowers

3 tablespoons dried rosemary

1⁄4 cup dried parsley

1⁄4 cup dried peppermint

1⁄4 cup dried lemon peel

Instruments you will need:

Mixing bowl,
Measuring cups,
Measuring spoons,
2 Wooden spoons,
Pint-size canning jar with lid

How To Make:

Place all of the herbs in the mixing bowl and toss like a salad until you have a uniform blend. you can use your hands to blend herbs, but you can also use two spoons. Transfer to the jar, label, and cap tightly.

How To Store:
Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and use within 2 years.

How To Use:

To use, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir 2 tablespoons of the herbs into the water.
Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
Carefully bring the pot to a table and make a tent over the pot with a bath towel to create a mini steam room.
Clean your face, then hover over the steaming pot at least 8 inches away with your eyes closed. If the steam is too hot, open a vent to let some of the steam out and move your face a bit farther away from the steam. Breathe deeply, relaxing for 5–15 minutes.

Note:

If this whole production seems daunting, but you’d like the benefits of a facial steam, soak a washcloth in the herbal brew and place on your face for a few minutes, then repeat. Just be sure to let the cloth cool to a safe temperature before putting it on your skin. Note: Facial steams are not recommended for cystic acne, rosacea, or inflamed skin conditions.
