Cleanse, Nourish and Maintain a Youthful Face

 
Many of us have tried a steam facial before it opens the pores and allows you to cleanse them through the usual cleansing methods. The new thing about this facial is that  besides opening your pores it will increase blood circulation and nourish your skin.
Ingredients for Steam Mask:
1tsp cinnamon.
3tbs chamomile.
1tbs honey.
Ingredients for Scrub:
2tbs grounded oatmeal (blend it until its a fine powder)
2 tbs full cream milk.
1 tsp honey.
Directions:

  • In a wide,deep bowl add the honey, make sure to always add it first, followed by the chamomile and the cinnamon.

  • Then boil water and add it to the mixture, make sure you fill the bowl only half way up.

  • Then follow the usual steam mask routine, position your face just above the bowl and cover your head and the bowl with a towel.

  • Every 30 to 60 seconds lift your face to inhale enough air.

  • After 10 minutes apply the above scrub mixture to your face and massage gently then rinse.

  • Sometimes the cinnamon is a bit strong for the face causing it to turn really red, if this happens follow the scrub with a cold plain yogurt mask for 10 minutes.
Note: It is normal to feel a tingly sensation during the steam mask, if it is strong then cinnamon is probably not for you; stop the steam mask immediately and rinse your face with lukewarm water then apply the scrub followed by the cold yogurt.
Also make sure not add cinnamon to the this facial or any other facial again.
