Boil the water, then pour it into a heat-safe bowl.
Add the bay leaves and let them steep for 2–3 minutes.
Place your face over the bowl, keeping at least 8–10 inches of distance.
Drape a towel over your head to gently trap steam.
Steam for 5–8 minutes—enough to soften and refresh the skin without irritation.
Pat the skin dry and follow with your favorite gentle moisturizer.
Why it works: Steam helps hydrate the outer layer of skin and improves absorption of moisturizers, while bay leaf adds a soothing botanical touch.
