As the temperatures drop and holiday chaos rises, December becomes the perfect month to slow down, breathe deeply, and give your skin a moment of love. This month’s DIY is designed specifically for the everyday woman — the mom, the multitasker, the working woman, the “I need something quick and cheap” woman.
Introducing the Warm Honey Cinnamon Steam Facial — a soothing, glow-boosting winter treatment made entirely with items sitting in your kitchen or bathroom right now.
And yes… your skin will thank you.
💖 Why This DIY Is Perfect for December
December comes with:
- colder air
- indoor heating
- holiday stress
- dryness, dullness, and irritation
- tight, dehydrated skin
This steam facial helps counter that by:
- opening pores
- loosening buildup
- boosting circulation
- hydrating with honey
- softening skin
- calming your mind with warm aromatherapy
And it smells like a cozy cinnamon tea latte.
🛒 Ingredients You Already Have at Home
For the Steam
- 4 cups hot water
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but amazing)
- 1 tea bag (ANY flavor — green tea, chamomile, lemon, herbal, black… use what you have)
For the Hydrating Mask
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp olive oil or coconut oil
Extras
- A towel
- A bowl
- Your favorite moisturizer
Nothing fancy. No shopping. No stress.
🧖🏾 How to Do the Warm Honey Cinnamon Steam Facial
1️⃣ Prepare your steam bowl.
Boil water and pour it into a large bowl. Add:
- cinnamon
- vanilla (optional)
- tea bag
Let it sit for about 1 minute to create an aromatic steam.
2️⃣ Make your quick mask.
Mix:
- honey
- olive oil (or coconut oil)
This hydrates, softens, and nourishes your winter skin.
3️⃣ Apply the mask.
Gently massage the mixture onto clean skin.
It will feel sticky — that’s normal. The steam softens it.
4️⃣ Steam your face.
Place your face over the bowl, drape the towel over your head, and steam:
5–8 minutes
Close your eyes. Breathe. Let your skin drink in the warmth.
5️⃣ Rinse + moisturize.
Rinse your face with warm water, pat dry, and apply your normal moisturizer.
Your skin will feel soft, refreshed, and revived.
