Why use a hydrating face mist?

-
Set makeup or refresh it throughout the day
-
Provide aromatherapy benefits (if you add essential oils)

100 ml spray bottle (clean and sterilized)
-
1/2 cup (120 ml) distilled or filtered water
-
1 tbsp rose water (hydrating, anti-inflammatory)
-
1 tbsp aloe vera gel or juice (soothes, cools, and hydrates)

2–3 drops glycerin (locks in moisture — optional but great for dry skin)

In a bowl or cup, combine the distilled water, rose water, and aloe vera.

Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing, cooling mist.
-
Use within 2–3 weeks since it’s preservative-free.

Always patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Custom mist ideas:
