Ingredients Used in This Facial Mist

This homemade facial mist is beaming with the goodness of the all-natural and toxin-free ingredients.

Rose water is endowed with anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce redness and irritation. It can also act as a buffer and stabilize the pH balance of the skin. Prepared from rose petals, rose water not only smells amazing but also retains moisture and keeps the skin hydrated. What’s best is that all these benefits come at a surprisingly low cost.

Another ingredient is witch hazel, a natural astringent that can help shrink the pore size and reduce the secretion of sebum. This action of witch hazel can help keep your skin oil-free.

Vegetable glycerin is a versatile product that can be used multifariously for cosmetic applications. It works as a humectant and helps keep your skin soft, supple, and moisturized for long time periods.

Moreover, vegetable glycerin is procured from plant oils and is 100% organic and chemical-free. It is an outstanding option for those with sensitive skin as it helps seal moisture in the skin, fight dryness, and prevent wrinkles and fine lines.

Vitamin E is replete with natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help you steer clear from skin and hair problems. This vitamin can help fight free radical damage and keep your skin cells healthy, boost the production of collagen, and retain the elasticity of the skin.

Owing to these properties, vitamin E is being abundantly incorporated into several creams, lotions, and moisturizers. However, to reap its maximum benefits, use vitamin E capsules that contain good-quality vitamin E oil in concentrated form.

Ylang-ylang essential oil is a therapeutic oil that helps improve the secretion of oil from the sebaceous glands and also provide comfort from irritation and redness.

So, go ahead and spray on this mist, again and again, to keep your facial skin hydrated and revitalized.

Additional Tips

  • Use 100% pure vegetable glycerin.
  • Make sure to use 100% organic rose water.
