This blend of ingredients is a special little infusion that is great for your skin. Toners are a thin, water-like formula meant to be used in-between your face wash and other skincare steps to "prime" the skin for skincare. Previously, toners were heavy on the alcohol and were perfect for people with acne as they were very drying. But these days they are not only for removing excess oil from the face, but contain a variety of soothing, brightening, and anti-aging ingredients.

I have everything but the rose petals. Can those be any foraged rose petals? Or can you recommend a source to purchase them?
ReplyDeletewild collecting is best with rose petals, especially if you are confident they were not treated or sprayed. This recipe can be used with fresh or dry herbs and flowrs, use 1/3 as much if usubg dry herbs.
