After 5 minutes of steaming, sprinkle your face with
cold water so as to close open pores. Apply a light
coat of cream and massage gently, before going to bed.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day, and this will
not only to replenish moisture lost to the heat and
sweat but also to help flush toxins out of the body.
Water plays an important role in keeping your skin alive.

of red sandalwood powder and rosewater to your skin
