A good, deep cleansing treat is to give your face a sauna. This is especially good for congested skin. Fill a bowl with near-boiling water and add 4 drops of each of the essential oils recommended for your skin type: for normal skin, use mandarin and lavender; for oily skin, use lemon and eucalyptus; and for dry skin, use rose and chamomile. Place a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl from a distance of about 30cm for a period of around 2 minutes. This opens the pores and prepares it for a face mask. You should not use a face sauna if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or suffer from asthma.
