This gentle Thai herbal compression can be enjoyed as part of your daily or weekly self-care ritual. Perfect for when your skin feels tired, puffy, tense, or in need of soothing warmth.
- Prepare the Compress - Soak the entire herbal ball thoroughly in water using one of the following methods:
a. Steaming Method - Place the soaked compress in a steaming machine for 15–20 minutes until warm.
b. Microwave Method - Place the soaked compress in a bowl of water and microwave on medium heat for 1 minute.
*Avoid pouring boiling water directly on the compress, as this may diminish the natural properties of the herbs. Gradual heating is essential.)
- Check the Temperature - Use gloves or a towel to remove the compress safely. Allow it to cool for a moment until the temperature feels comfortably warm on your skin.
- Apply the Compress - Gently press, roll, or massage the herbal ball over the face, jawline, temples, forehead, and neck, or any areas that feel puffy, tense, or congested. Enjoy for 5–10 minutes, or until the warmth naturally fades. This calming ritual may be especially comforting around the **sinus areas**, supporting relaxation and easing facial tightness.
- Reheat as Needed - The compress may be soaked and reheated multiple times during a session for continued comfort.
- After Use - Allow the compress to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container and place it in the freezer. Because it is freshly prepared with natural herbs, it may be reused up to 10 times within 2 weeks.
1. How do the herbs inside the Thai facial herbal compress work together during use?
When warmed, the compress releases gentle heat and aromatic vapour from Wild Turmeric, Ginger and Wan Plai. This natural steam creates a soothing sensory experience that helps soften feelings of facial tightness, refresh the senses and support a moment of ease around areas that often feel puffy or fatigued like the cheeks, temples and jawline.
- Wild Turmeric creates a grounding, earthy aroma that supports a calm, balanced-feeling complexion.
- Ginger offers a cosy warmth that complements the natural heat of the compress.
- Wan Plai (Thai Plai) is traditionally used to help ease tension and encourage relaxation.
Together, they create a multi-sensory wellness ritual using warmth, aroma and herbal steam to comfort the skin and calm the mind.
