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.
2 sprigs fresh thyme, crumbled (or 1/2 T 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.
