• Create a moisturizing and mild facial steam by adding 3-4 slices of lemon and 4-5 leaves of peppermint to hot water. Keep the bowl covered for at least 6 minutes, then cover your head with the towel and cleanse your pores with this healthy and natural treatment. For complexions affected by acne, it is advisable to stay in the steam for at least 8-10 minutes. Let the water boil first and use it as a steam when it becomes pleasant to stay in it rather than super-hot.
