( I haven't tried them out yet but a friend has and she loves them Enjoy Jenn Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://tlotc.dhs.org/jenn/ * Exported from MasterCook * Fennel-Chamomile Facial Steam Recipe By : Vegetarian Times Magazine, January 1997, page 64 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Beauty Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 cups water medium-size pot 3 teaspoons fennel seeds -- up to 4 and dried chamomile flowers 1 large towel This is a particularly effective remedy far rough chapped skin, says esthetician Stephanie Tourles, author of The Herbal Body Book: A Natural Approach To Healthier Skin And Nails (Stony. I 994) " Fennel and chamomile are so gentle. Fennel is especially nourishing for dry skin because it makes the skin very soft afterward. Those with acme should avoid this because the steam will aggravate their skin. Clean skin first, removing any traces of makeup. Bring water to a boil and remove pot from heat. Add herbs, cover with a lid and steep for 5 minutes. Remove lid and set pan on a stable surface. Lean head no closer than 10 to 12 inches over pan, and pull the towel over your head and pan to make a tent. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes, opening tent if you get too hot. Rinse face with tepid water, then splash with cool waver. Moisturize. The remaining tea will keep in the refrigerator for a few days; use it as a toner after cleansing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
