After the Holidays, Dr. Puget tells us how to correct a dull complexion, often due to excess food and alcohol… It’s the right time!
Linden or pine steam baths
For astringent fumigation, which will fight against acne and blackheads, mix 1 liter of boiling water and 1 tablespoon of benzoin.
For soothing fumigation, mix 1 liter of water with linden or chamomile flowers if your skin is irritated.
For decongestant fumigation, infuse 1 handful of pine needles and 1 pine cone in 1 liter of water.
For relaxing fumigation, put 1 tablespoon of camphor alcohol in 1 liter of water.
Wise advice!
Fumigation consists of subjecting the face to the vapors of plants. It should be practiced at least every 15 days. The fumigations are carried out with the hottest water possible. Place a towel over your head, so you don’t lose the beneficial effects of the steam.
