You’ve heard of making sun tea, right? This is a fun spin on that concept.
Ingredients:
- 8oz distilled water
- 2oz rose petals -you can use fresh or dried (just make sure they are chemical free rose petals. This is very important!)
Tools:
- glass canning jar
- tea strainer
- funnel
- spray bottle
Directions:
Combine the 2 ingredients in the glass jar. Make in the morning and place the jar in direct sun for 6-8 hours. Transfer contents of jar to spray bottle with the use of a funnel and small tea strainer, catching all the rose petal particles as you pour to the bottle. Add spray top, and chill in the fridge.
What it does for your skin…
Rose is a natural emollient and fabulous for toning and balancing the complexion. Spritz on your skin throughout the day to tone, cool, condition and refresh. You may even substitute this for a light moisturizer if it’s especially hot and sticky out!
