Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon rose petals
1 Tablespoon lavender flowers
1 Tablespoon chamomile flowers
1 Tablespoon comfrey leaf

Instructions:

For this herbal facial steam recipe I used a packages of two .5 oz. jars manufactured from Art-C® Embellishments. These can easily be found in most craft stores in the scrapbooking section. Not only did I think these jars were super cute, but they’re also a great size for gifting these DIY herbal facial steams especially as DIY wedding favors or bridesmaid gifts!

Don’t feel limited by these jars however. You can increase the recipe for this DIY herbal facial steam and use a larger jar for your personal use, or buy other jars in a size or quantity that best suits your needs. Mountain Rose Herbs carries glass salve jars in 1 oz. up to 4 oz. as well as 2 oz. spice bottles with a cork top. For larger preparations they also sell larger wide mouth with cork tops.

To make this DIY herbal facial steam, use a measuring spoon to measure out the ingredients into a glass bowl. Mix well to combine, then use a funnel to add the herbs to your containers. This herbal facial steam recipe fills four .5 oz. jars.

To use simply empty contents of one jar into 2 cups of water on the stove. Bring the water to a simmer, then remove from heat. Tent a towel over your head over top of the pot of water and herbs for 5-7 minutes inhaling deeply.
