Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited by Sunkist to tour their groves and learn about the many beauty benefits of the lemon. Turns out there are tons that I never knew about, including a facial steam you can create using lemons that will relax your senses and steam away your troubles.
Sound too good to be true? Here’s what you do:
Ingredients
- 1 table or flat surface
- 1 large bowl
- 1 large bath towel
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 sliced Sunkist® Lemon
- 1 handful of mint leaves
Directions
Place the large bowl on the table and add boiling water, Sunkist lemon slices, and mint leaves. Place the bath towel over your head and lower your face over the bowl. Breathe deeply for seven to ten minutes, allowing the aroma of the mint and lemon to calm your senses and remove impurities. This is also great home remedy for opening breathing passages during cold and flu season.
I don’t think this product is natural…….
