DIY toner - Magic of roses and Witch Hazel

Ah toners - as mystifying and as essential!! this skincare is one of the daily skin routine I follow, in fact multiple times in summer.
This toner is very easy and simple. Toner balances pH of the skin, helps in removing excess oil, tighten skin pores, extra hydrating.
The main ingredients are home made ðŸŒ¹ water, Witch Hazel, essential oils.
Rose Water is anti inflammatory and effective cleanser that can be economically made at home.
Witch Hazel is a botanical extract derived from a flowering plant. It contains chemicals called Tannins which helps repairing broken skin, fight bacteria, stops cellular damage. Make sure that you buy alcohol free Witch Hazel otherwise it will be drying on the skin.
Procedure:
I used equal portions of Rose Water and Witch Hazel as my skin is normal. For dry skin use 3:1 ratio of Rose Water and WH, whereas for oily skin it is vice versa. Tweak the base recipe according to your skin type. Combine both in a glass bottle/jar along with your favorite essential oils. I used ðŸŒ¹EO.
Simply shake the bottle before each use and either spritz directly onto your face or spray onto a cotton pad and apply.

DIY alkanet lip balm

Here is another variation of lip balm prepared predominantly from alkanet root infused sweet almond oil. Alkanet root is primarily used as a natural dyeing agent which gives red Ruby to pink color based on the amount used. I infused 1 tbsp of alkanet root in 1/4 th cup of sweet almond oil for 4-6 weeks in a cool dark place occasionally shaking. Directions to make the lip balm: Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp of Shea butter,1 tbsp of bees wax, 2 tbsps of alkanet infused sweet almond oil, 1 tbsp of olive oil in a heaf proof canning jar over a medium- low heat using double boiler method. Step 2: Add few drops of vitamin E oil and essential oils after removing from the pan. I used rose absolute. Give the mixture few stirs and pour into the lip balm tubes. Once cooled cap the tubes. Voila, lip balm is ready with the pinkish tint. Alkanet root can be purchased from the below URL, rest of the other ingredients can be found in the same website or Amazon. https://www.mountainroseherbs....
