 Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rosewater is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for all skin types. Aloe vera gel provides deep hydration and helps soothe irritated or sunburned skin.

If you like a little extra moisture, you can add glycerin, which gives your skin a beautiful dewy finish. Witch hazel is an optional ingredient but works well as a toner to help tighten and refresh your skin.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a small bowl, mix rosewater, aloe vera gel, and distilled water. If you want to add extra hydration, stir in glycerin. This will help lock in moisture and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. If you want a more refreshing and calming scent, add a few drops of essential oil of your choice (lavender, chamomile, or geranium work great for skin).

Step 3: Combine the Mixture in a Bottle

Once the mixture is well combined, carefully pour the contents into your spray bottle. Make sure you choose a spray bottle that is clean and can hold at least 100ml of liquid. Shake well to mix the ingredients further.

Step 4: Test and Adjust

Before using your facial mist on your entire face, do a quick patch test on your wrist or behind your ear to make sure you don't have any allergic reactions. If you have sensitive skin, you can adjust the amount of essential oil or leave it out entirely. You can also add more aloe vera gel or witch hazel, depending on your skin type (dry or oily).

Step 5: Store and Use

Store the mist in a cool, dry place. To use, simply shake the bottle, close your eyes, and spray directly onto your face. Use it whenever you need a quick pick-me-up, during your morning skincare routine, or as a refreshing afternoon spritz. The mist can also be used after makeup application to set your look and give your skin a fresh, dewy glow.

 Benefits of Rosewater and Aloe Vera

Rosewater: Naturally hydrates, calms inflammation, and soothes skin. It also has mild antiseptic properties and helps balance the skin’s pH. Rosewater is great for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Aloe Vera Gel: Deeply moisturizes and soothes irritated or sunburned skin. It's excellent for reducing redness, swelling, and promoting skin healing.

Glycerin: Known for its humectant properties, glycerin draws moisture from the air into your skin, helping it stay hydrated and soft throughout the day.

Witch Hazel: A natural astringent, witch hazel helps tighten the skin, reduce inflammation, and remove excess oil, making it perfect for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

Essential Oils: Depending on the essential oils you choose, they can provide additional benefits, such as calming your mind (lavender), reducing puffiness (chamomile), or boosting your mood (citrus oils).

 Customization Tips

For Oily Skin: Add a little more witch hazel to help control oil and reduce shine.

For Dry Skin: Use more aloe vera gel and glycerin to provide extra hydration.

Scent Options: You can play around with essential oils. Lavender is great for relaxation, peppermint provides an invigorating sensation, and tea tree oil can be helpful for acne-prone skin.

For Sensitive Skin: Stick with just rosewater, aloe vera, and distilled water. Avoid essential oils and witch hazel, as they may be irritating to sensitive skin.
