Provide aromatherapy benefits (if you add essential oils)
DIY hydrating face mist recipe
You’ll need:
- 100 ml spray bottle (clean and sterilized)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) distilled or filtered water
- 1 tbsp rose water (hydrating, anti-inflammatory)
- 1 tbsp aloe vera gel or juice (soothes, cools, and hydrates)
- 2–3 drops glycerin (locks in moisture — optional but great for dry skin)
- 2–3 drops essential oil (lavender, chamomile, or tea tree for added benefits — optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl or cup, combine the distilled water, rose water, and aloe vera.
- Add glycerin and essential oil (if using), and stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into your spray bottle using a funnel.
- Shake well before each use.
Storage tips:
- Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing, cooling mist.
- Use within 2–3 weeks since it’s preservative-free.
- Always patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Custom mist ideas:
- For oily/acne-prone skin: Add a few drops of witch hazel or tea tree oil.
- For dry skin: Increase glycerin or add cucumber juice.
For calming effects: Try chamomile tea as your base.
Final tip: Mist your face in the morning, after applying makeup, or anytime you need a mid-day refresh. It’s a quick, natural way to care for your skin — and feel a little more zen while you’re at it.
