One of the best ways to prep and purify your skin is to let it breathe clean, steamed water.

Two essential oils that work wonders on your skin are Tea Tree and Lemongrass for their antibacterial, detoxifying qualities. If you have problem skin or just need a pick-me-up, you seriously need to try this combination. The Lemongrass overpowers the Tea Tree scent, making this steam an instant mood-booster while also healing your blemishes.

 

TEA TREE AND LEMONGRASS FACE STEAM

3 cups boiling water

5 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil

3 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

How to use it

  1. Pour the boiling water into a large bowl.
  2. Add the essential oils.
  3. Hold your face above the bowl and drape a towel over your head.
  4. Steam to your heart’s content—we suggest at least five minutes.
  5. Once you are done steaming your face, you can spritz on a toner to and then smooth on a light moisturizer. Now go take on the world. Or Netflix and chill…your choice.
