One of our newest products, a Botanical Facial Steam, combines local herbs from our garden here in north Asheville, additional herbs we’ve thoughtfully acquired and, of course, Himalayan salt.

Steam has been a powerful wellness tool for thousands of years. We use it primarily in our Hammam, a private and traditional Turkish steam room at the Asheville Salt Cave.

Now, we have created this small batch, handmade, at-home steam experience which can be personalized for individual needs.

Combine a tablespoon of our herbal mixture and boiling water in a bowl, then lean over the heat so the steam can envelop your face. Cover your head with a towel to trap the steam and offer a darker space to relax in. This herbal steam process cleanses and hydrates the skin, increases blood flow, and opens pores to better absorb skincare products. We recommend doing your at-home steam session before bed to enhance your skincare routine and sleep.

Another method to use our Botanical Facial Steam does not require any steam.

Simply brew a tablespoon of our mixture and boiling water like you would a cup of tea. Let it cool and add the mixture to an ice cube tray. Use your botanical ice cubes in the morning to depuff, sculpt your facial structure, and prepare your skin for the day.
