Cooling Rose & Mandarin Facial Mist
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Rose Petals
- 90ml Distilled Water
- 1 tablespoon Jojoba Oil
- 6 drops Rose Geranium Essential Oil
- 6 drops Mandarin Essential Oil
- 6 drops Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
- 6 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
Method
- Infuse the rose petals in the water for at least 48 hours or longer.
- Strain well using a fine sieve, garni or nut milk bag. Repeat if necessary to ensure there are no remaining petals.
- In a separate glass jar or jug, add the jojoba oil and essential oils, stir until well combined. Add the rose infused water and mix.
- Using a funnel or a steady hand, pour into a 100ml amber glass spray bottle and shake until well dispersed.
- Leave to sit for at least 24 hrs for the oils to infuse in the facial mist.
How To Use
Shake well before each use, as the oils will float to the top. With eyes closed, spray facial mist liberally over your face when desired throughout the day, for a cooling and uplifting experience.
You can also give your home a quick spritz to neutralise odours, or to freshen up your linen.
Avoid eyes. Keep from direct sunlight and use within 6 months. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Tip: For the ultimate cooling spritz, place the bottle in the fridge for 30 minutes before use.
