Facial Steam Tutorial: Reset Your Skin and Mind with Lavender

Feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin? You’re not alone.
Life can pull us in a dozen directions, leaving little time for self-care. But even a simple ritual can help reset your emotional wellbeing—and your skin.

A Simple At-Home Ritual with Lavender Bath Salts

Whether you have a bath or not, this calming lavender steam treatment is a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself and support your skin naturally.

What You’ll Need:

  • A large bowl, foot basin, or bath
  • Warm water
  • Pure Source Lavender Bath Salts 
  • A towel
  • Optional: calming music and quiet space

If You Have a Bath:

Run a warm bath and sprinkle in your lavender bath salts. Swirl gently to release the essential oils. Soak for 20 minutes with calming music, focusing on slow, deep breathing.

Lavender helps to relax both the mind and body, easing tension and encouraging emotional balance.

No Bath? No Problem.

Create a relaxing lavender facial steam instead:

  1. Fill a large bowl with warm water.
  2. Add 1–2 tablespoons of Pure Source Lavender Bath Salts.
  3. Drape a towel over your head and lean over the bowl to trap the steam.
  4. Close your eyes and take deep, meditative breaths for 5–10 minutes.

The warm steam opens pores, enhances circulation, and allows the natural properties of lavender to soothe your nervous system—without any sedative effects.

Bonus: Foot or Hand Soak

Once your steam is complete, reuse the water as a relaxing foot soak or hand soak; a grounding way to finish your ritual.


Lavender for Skin & Emotional Wellbeing
Lavender is renowned for its calming properties. It supports skin health, promotes relaxation, and encourages emotional clarity. That’s why we use it in our bestselling Pure Source Lavender Bath Salts.


Take this as your reminder: You don’t need a reason to rest.
You have permission to pause and breathe—whenever you need to.
