Jessica is a firm believer in a stimulating facial steam at least once a week because of all the benefits it adds to the overall health of the skin.

Jessica explains that not only does a DIY facial steaming add much needed moisture and hydration to the skin, facial steaming also opens up the pores and loosens debris that has collected on the surface of the skin.

Whether you use a bowl, pot of hot water or a home spa steamer, DIY facial steaming facial recipes can be adapted in literally hundreds of different ways to maximize the rejuvenating benefits for aging skin symptoms using herbs, flowers, or, even, essential oils

Jessica recipe uses natural citrus juice, whatever fresh herbs she has on hand, along with a nutrient rich nut or seed oil and, of course, honey since it has such a huge range of anti-aging properties.

Depending on the season, Jessica recommends using seasonal fresh fruits, flowers, and herbs in your natural anti-aging skin care steaming facial to provide a deeply nourishing treatment.

The combination of warm steam and increased perspiration dilates blood vessels, increasing circulation. The boost of blood flow increases the delivery of oxygen providing a natural, healthy glow while promoting collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.  This increases the permeability of the skin enabling for better absorption and penetration of nutrients deeper into the skin.
