Steps: DIY Rose Face Toner

5- While stirring, allow the water to boil for five minutes exactly.
6- After five minutes, remove the saucepan off the stove, and allow the contents to cool down completely.
7- Using a sieve, strain out the petals residue and collect the rose-infused water in a bowl.
8- Add two tablespoons of rose water (the kind used in cakes) to the rose-infused water.
9- Mix thoroughly.
10- Pour the DIY Rose Face Toner into a small spray bottle, and you’re done!
Tip
Because we used water in its preparation, the product, as is, will last only one week if stored in the fridge. To extend the shelf life, you can add either of the following:
a) Phenoxyethanol, a synthetic preservative commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products. Use the ratio of 1 gram of phenoxyethanol for every 100 grams of face toner.
b) Or, if you prefer natural preservatives, you can use vitamin E or tea tree essential oil. However, it’s important to note that the shelf life won’t be as long-lasting as with phenoxyethanol. For vitamin E, add 3 grams for every 100 grams of toner. For tea tree essential oil, use 3 drops for every 100 grams of toner. These natural alternatives can help extend the shelf life up to 1 month.
How To Use: DIY Rose Face Toner
To make the most of your DIY Rose Face Toner, incorporate it into your daily skincare routine. This refreshing elixir is designed for use in the morning and can be applied up to three times throughout the day for that extra burst of hydration and rejuvenation. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Morning Application (Before Makeup):
- Start your day by cleansing your face thoroughly.
- Apply the DIY Rose Face Toner to a cotton pad or spritz it directly onto your face.
- Gently pat it onto your skin, allowing it to fully absorb.
- This step also serves as an excellent primer before applying makeup.
- Follow up with your regular moisturizer.
2. Daytime Refresh (Optional):
- If you wish to use it during the day, simply spritz a small amount onto your face when you need a quick pick-me-up.
- It can also be applied before reapplying makeup to maintain a fresh, dewy look.
