You will need:
A bowl sutible for boiling water
A Towel
A Chamomile Tea bag
1. Prep your skin for steaming by removing all traces of make up and cleansing the skin of dirt
2. Boil the kettle and pour into a large heat safe bowl. Throw in a chamomile tea bag and let the tea bag sit for a few minutes for the chamomile tea to gradually release into the hot water.
3.Take your hair away from your face i use a hair band anything to stop it sticking to my face.
4.Place your bowl on the edge of a table and set a chair in front of the bowl. Make sure it is enough distance for you to lean into the facial steam. Sit leaning forward in front of the steaming bowl.
5. Use a towel to place over your head and above the facial steam to make a tent. If its too uncomfortable , wait for the water to cool until it is a manageable temperature. Remain over the bowl for 15 minutes.
6. Rinse your face with cool water to close the pores.
*Disclaimer please use at own discretion and be careful when using boiling water*

It's been a while since I've done an herbal steam like this! I would also use the cooled tea to mix with some kaolin clay for a mask.
