Boil 4–5 dried bay leaves in 2 cups of water for 5–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to a comfortable temperature.
Place the pot on a stable surface, drape a towel over your head, and lean over the steam for 5–8 minutes at a safe distance.
Follow up with your regular cleanser and moisturizer for the best results.
This ritual can leave skin feeling refreshed and invigorated after just one session.
