Facial steam to balance the pH

Regulating the skin is easier than it seems. Learn all about facial steam.

This facial steamer is very effective if you do your makeup daily or use soap to cleanse your skin, as both can leave behind a kind of alkaline film that causes dryness, dullness, and clogged pores. Normally the skin is a bit acidic and has a pH of approximately 5 to 6, so vinegar helps you restore the proper balance of the skin, leaving it very fresh and soft.

You need:

• 3 cups of distilled water
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lavender flowers
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon of rose petals

Use it like this:

Boil the water with the vinegar and remove from the heat. Add the herbs, cover with a dry towel, and let sit for 5 minutes. Place the pot on a flat surface, such as a table, and sit down.

Bring the container closer to the shore, remove the towel and place it on your shoulders and head, the idea is that you make a kind of tent. Close your eyes and place your face 10-12 centimeters from the edge of the pot, take a deep breath and relax. When finished, rinse with warm water and splash with a little cold, do not rub. Then you can use a moisturizing mask and finish with a moisturizing cream. You will see that your face will be very soft, go ahead and try it!
