There is most likely not a woman out there who doesn’t enjoy being pampered at a spa, but that can be costly and time consuming. So in between those special treatments from the professional, you can still feel like a million bucks at home.

Try these natural at home treatments.

-Cleanse your face as normal-Pour almost boiling water into a bowl (don’t over-fill)-Add you favorite herbs or essential oils (according to the benefit you want)

**If you want a deep clean – add juniper, sage, thyme, or peppermint**

**If you want to relax – add lavender, sweet marjoram, or lemon balm**

-If you are using herbs be sure to let them steep for about 5 minutes for maximum effect

-put your face over the steaming bowl and place a towel over your head

-the steam opens up your pours, and the herbs help deep clean and refresh your skin

-stay under tent for 10 to 15 minutes

**Steam is also a great way to relieve sinus headaches and allergy congestion**

-Put 2-3 teaspoons of dried basil into one cup boiling water-Let it steep for 20 minutes-Cool and apply to acne with a cotton ball

The tonic will last in the refrigerator for up to 90 days.
