Winter is the coldest season with less daylight where the skin is exposed to harsh environmental temperature changes and dehydrating heating therefore extra sensitivity to irritations with sore and dry skin conditions
Halotherapy - is using steam is an integral part of your skincare routine, with most benefits gained by practicing a minimum of once a week as a self-care routine or before sleep.
Salt steam inhalation can be used as a meditation in mindful breathing as the ionic air circulates through your senses, warming and softening the skin removing impurities and bacteria from the surface in a gentle air bath
Start with clean skin
Boil approximately a cup full of water or enough to fill a medium size ceramic or glass bowl.
Place your bowl onto a folded towel on a table or somewhere you can sit comfortably with your face over the steam and add a teaspoon of salt infusion.
Pour the boiling water into the bowl dissolving the salt and hydrating the herbs.
Lean over the bowl keeping your face a minimum of 12 inches or 30 centimeters away from the water and drape a towel over your head creating a little tent to keep in the steam. The steam should feel soothing and not too hot. If it feels uncomfortable then adjust your head higher away from the bowl. Keep your eyes open as the steam will also moisten the eyes and soften the oil ducts around the eyes.
Sit over the steam for 5 minutes and build up to 10 to 15 as you feel comfortable breathing in and out of the nose.
After the steam gently wipe away the perspiration with a clean cloth and then cool with hydrosol to regulate ph levels and massage skin with facial oil and drink a glass of water.
