A Rosemary and mint facial toner, great for the changing of the seasons!
It's that special time of year when magic is in the air. Families are gathering, and the holidays are in full swing. We all know things can get a little overwhelming during this season, and it's important to take some time to ourselves to reflect, relax, and center ourselves.
Self Care
This week we'll be focusing on a facial toner that will help to ease your skin into the colder temperatures. This rosemary and mint facial toner brings together the moisturizing quality of rosemary, with the anti-inflammatory properties of mint.
Rosemary & Mint Facial Toner
Feel free to adjust the amount of witch hazel you add to your toner, depending on the level of astringency you're comfortable with.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of Rosemary
1/4 cup of fresh Mint
1 cup of Water
2 tbsp of Witch Hazel
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and then remove from heat.
Add in mint and rosemary and leave to brew for 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain the herbs from the water into a bowl and then let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in witch hazel (amount to your liking,) and transfer to a glass mason jar for safekeeping.
*Always apply toner to a freshly washed face. This toner will last about a week at room temperature and about three weeks when kept in the refrigerator.
