Mix until completely blended.<\/li>\n<li>Add 2-3 tablespoons of witch hazel to a spray bottle. Spray surface of the mixture and stir. Repeat spraying and stirring until mixture resembles and feels like damp sand. You know it\u2019s good to go when you can shape it into a ball, but it falls apart easily.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc99ff\"><strong>YL tip:<\/strong> <\/span>If the mixture ends up too moist, add more baking soda and citric acid until you get the right consistency.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Put the mixture into silicone moulds and press down firmly.

Be careful\u2014the water\u2019s hot!<\/li>\n<li>Add a facial steamer to the water. Let it sit and fizz for a minute or two.<\/li>\n<li>Place a large towel over your head and lean over the pot with your face 5-10 inches away from the water. Do not put your face closer to the water to avoid burning your skin. If it gets too hot, create a vent in the towel and allow some steam to escape.<\/li>\n<li>Do five 2-minute sessions, giving skin a 1-minute break between each. Keep the water hot by placing a lid on the pot during break time.<\/li>\n<li>Splash your face with cool water.<\/li>\n<li>Moisturise with your favourite lotion for truly glow-tastic skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc99ff\"><strong>Have you done a steam facial before?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc99ff\"><strong>Tell us your best tips in the comments!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As much as we love spending a day at the spa, sometimes our calendars\u2014and our wallets\u2014need something quick and simple.
