Thyme and Fennel Seed Cleanser by Gillian Oliver
Thyme and Fennel Seed Cleanser
Fennel has been used throughout history as an aid to digestion or as a slight diuretic. As an infusion, fennel seeds can be gently cleansing and toning for the skin, and they can help reduce puffiness and superficial irritation.
Thyme, which is used in antiseptic preparations, is a good astringent. Because this cleanser is very gentle, it can be used each morning. Dab it on your face and neck with a cotton ball, and rinse.
Ingredients
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, crumbled (or 1/2 Tsp dried Thyme)
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- Juice of Half Lemon
Mix the thyme and fennel seed in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Add lemon juice and steep for 15 minutes. Strain the infusion and store the liquid in a jar, in the refrigerator.
