Make Your Own Facial Mist


Ladies, create your very own homemade mists and toner that have all the benefits of the expensive brands at a fraction of the cost.
For Sensitive Skin:
CHAMOMILE MIST

Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-fungal  properties. It's great for rosacea, sun poison, calming irritated skin and sun burn.

Boil 1 chamomile herbal tea bag into 100ml boiling water for 5 minutes.
Refrigerate until it's cool.                                         
Pour into a small spray bottle and use after cleansing.
Mist on the face anytime throughout the day for a cool refreshment.

For oily skin:
VODKA MIST
Rose hip is a great skin regenerator. It is commonly used to restore firmness to skin, fight wrinkles, reduce scars, heal wounds, and skin diseases such as psoriasis. Lemons tighten the skin, control oil and fight blemishes. Vodka is a known antiseptic. 
2 ounces of rose hip tea
2 ounces of lemon juice
2 ounces of Russian vodka
Pour into a small spray bottle and use after cleansing.
Caution: It will sting if applied to broken skin. This formula will keep in the refrigerator for a week.
Mist on the face anytime throughout the day for a cool refreshment.

For dry skin:
WATERMELON TONER
Watermelon hydrates the skin and keeps it cool and refreshed.
2 tablespoons fresh watermelon juice
2 tablespoons witch hazel
2 tablespoons distilled water

Puree the watermelon.
Strain the watermelon juice to get rid of seeds.
Mix the ingredients in small bowl and stir well.
Dip a clean cotton pad into the mixture and apply to face.
Let it sit on the skin for 20 minutes.
Pour the remainder into an air-tight container.
Store in refrigerator.
This formula will keep in the refrigerator for a week.
