Aromatheraphy Steam Facial

An aromatherapy steam facial is a great way to feel like you are at a luxurious spa in the comfort of your own home. With only a pot of hot water, a towel, and essential oils, you can easily create your own aromatherapy steam facial that can greatly benefit your skin and sense of well-being.

A steam facial can help work magic on your skin. The steam helps increase circulation and draws blood to the surface of your skin, giving it a nice warm, healthy glow. It also helps to deep clean your pores of any dirt and debris and helps to add moisture to your skin. Not only is it great for your skin—it is also very relaxing and therapeutic as well.

What You Need:

Large pot or kettle to heat water in

Large bowl

Towel

5 drops of dōTERRA essential oil

Editor’s note: Use a combination of essential oils that can help benefit your skin as well.

For oily/troubled skin: use Eucalyptus, Geranium, Lemongrass or Melaleuca

For dry skin: use Lavender, Geranium, or Frankincense

For normal skin: use Lavender, Geranium, Sandalwood, or Ylang Ylang

Directions:

1- Wash your face with a gentle face wash to remove any makeup, grease, or dirt.

2- Bring a pot of water to a boil (about 5 cups).

3- Once the water begins to boil, transfer it to a large bowl.

4- Add essential oils to the water.

5- Take a large bath towel and drape it over your head and bowl. This will create a “steam tent.”  Position your face 12-18 inches away from water so the steam can go into your nose and skin.

6- Relax and enjoy for 3-5 minutes.

7- Once done, wash face to remove any dirt from pores that may have surfaced, and use a toner, such as dōTERRA’s Pore Reducing Toner, to help further cleanse your pores.

8- Pat skin dry with a clean towel. Repeat once a week.

note: The steam can also be helpful if you are congested or have the flu. Use essential oils such as Eucalyptus or Breathe to help open airways and soothe discomfort.

It's December, so we must discuss FRANKINCENSE

Probably my favorite thing about Dr. David Hill is the way he makes very technical, medical things make sense to my brain.

It is December and so we begin to think about 

Frankincense.

Here is a webinar from Dr. Hill about Frankincense and all the wonderful stuff it can do.
