Although this fragrant recipe will suit all skin types, Kapha ladies and gents will enjoy it most. If you want to drink the tea, simply double the recipe. Great to improve digestion, which will also benefit your skin.
Ingredients:
5 leaves of lemon verbena
3 lavender stems with flowers
3 leaves of lemon balm
1 litre of water
Method:
- Make a tea with the following 3 fresh or dried herbs.
- Let it steep for 11 minutes
- Let the tea cool off a bit
- When temperature is appropriate for your skin (warm enough to open the pores) soak 2 face cloths in the mixture.
- Quickly fold both facecloths in triangle shape, place first one tip up from nose to forehead, the second one tip down from under the nose to the chin.
- Make sure all areas of the face are covered.
- Add a small towel on top of everything if breathing is not an issue.
- Relax for 11 minutes.
- By then, the rest of your herb tea will have cooled off. Use it for a final rinse.
- OPTIONAL: Spray lavender hydrosol as a toner. If the day is cool, use ginger hydrosol instead.
