Green Skincare: Fresh From Your Kitchen

Parsley Facial Steam
Parsley is a great herb for this steam due to it's wonderful benefits for the skin, and availability- you can always find fresh parley in the produce section. I grow my own outside, but live in a climate where that works year-round. If you don't, try growing parsley in an indoor window herb box.

Steams are a wonderful way to get a spa like treatment at home, plus they are super easy. If you can boil water, you can handle making your own facial steam.

Directions:
~Boil a kettle of water
~rinse herbs if necessary and lay on dish towel
~Select a large, shallow bowl
~break herbs in to bowl
~Pour boiling water over parsley and let steep and cool for a few minutes
~Place bowl on table, sit in chair and let head drop down 12-18 in over bowl, be careful, if it's too hot, make sure to give more time to cool!
~Drape towel over head to trap steam between head and bowl
~Sit for a minute or 2, breathing deeply

follow with The Grapeseed Co. cleanser, toner and serum for a cleansing, hydrating & balancing experience.
