You can add your favorite essentail oils for your desired fragrance maybe a drop will do…Add the herbs to the hot water and let simmer for a few minutes, and then add the drops of essential oils right before the steam.
When the homemade facial steam is ready, lean over the bowl and covers your head with the towel to capture the steam. Remain for 10-15 minutes.
After the steam, allow the face to cool down and dab the skin with a organic lotion, then proceed with your skin care regimen.
I hope this helps somehow.
