Refreshing Floral Facial Mist Recipe
Like the proverb: “Opposites attract.”
Differences can complement each other, creating a balanced and harmonious connection. Your skin understands this too. It needs two things: oil + water.
Oil + water are essential for maintaining the balance and integrity of your skin’s microbiome. If you are cleansing your face with oil, a facial mist will enhance the benefits. Because, when used together, they deliver even more powerful, transformative effects.
They address different but complementary aspects of skin health—hydration and lipid balance—resulting in well-nourished, balanced, and radiant skin.
A facial mist, especially one containing hydrating and soothing ingredients, provides an additional layer of moisture and nutrients. It can help to replenish and lock in moisture after cleansing. Additionally, a water-based mist helps to plump the skin and prepare it for the next steps in your skincare routine. The mist can help the skin absorb subsequent skincare products more effectively. When the skin is hydrated, it is better able to take in oils and serums applied afterward.

1/4 cup Aloe Vera Juice* - Hydrates and soothes the skin, providing anti-inflammatory benefits.

2 tablespoons Infused Witch Hazel - Acts as a natural astringent, reducing oiliness and tightening pores.
