If you suffer with blackheads listen up!
My mum actually introduced me to this fantastic discovery that I now can't stop doing!
It's extremely simple to do, all you need is;
Fresh Rosemary and Lavender. (the lavender I added in, it's an extra. So if you don't have it don't worry but I like using both.)
Boiling Hot Water
Heat-proof bowl
Towel
I have Rosemary & Lavender both in pots. They're really cheap. You can find them at most florists, supermarkets (maybe not the lavender!) and garden stores. It's great as they grow and grow, are good for cooking with and for facials! I want to have many more potted herbs, but what I like about these two are that they are so easy to grow and don't need much care.
So I snip a couple of bundles with scissors, put it into my bowl, pour boiling water into the bowl, and with my towel put it over my head and keep my face over the bowl for about 5-10 minutes or as long as you can handle! It will get quite steamy and hot but that's what you want. The water will draw the oils out of the plants, which will then incorporate into the steam and voila! you have a DIY steam facial. The rosemary/steam will remove your blackheads and the lavender balances. Lets face it, how many times have you seen these two ingredients in skincare ranges? and now you have it at the purest form, and have I said it's cheap?! Let me know what you think

Definitely going to try this! I have extremely stubborn blackheads that I've basically just given up on and accepted. I love DIY so I'll give this a shot!
