How To Prepare The Facial Mist For Oily Skin:
Let’s learn the steps to prepare the facial mist for oily skin:
Step 1:
Take fresh aloe vera and extract the gel pulp with the help of a
spoon or fork. Add about a tablespoon of the aloe vera gel to the spray
bottle. Make sure that the spray bottle is well sanitized to prevent any
spoilage of the ingredients.
Aloe vera gel is a rich source of anti-oxidants, such as beta
carotene, Vitamins E and C, which will make your skin firm. It also
keeps the skin well hydrated. It naturally improves skin’s elasticity,
reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It refreshes your
skin and makes it appear vibrant. Moreover, aloe vera doesn’t make the
skin, so it is definitely perfect for oily skin.
In this step, take a tablespoon of lemon juice and add it to the aloe
vera juice. If you have very sensitive skin, then you can add just half
a tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture.
Lemon juice contains high portions of Vitamin C. It lightens the skin
tone. Controlling the greasiness and giving your skin a fresh feel, it
moisturizes and tones the skin.
Step 3:
Take lukewarm water in a bowl and add some rose petals to it. I love
the floral fragrance of the roses, so I added 2 medium sized rose flower
petals to the water.
Roses have amazing rejuvenating and refreshing properties. They also
calm and sooth the skin with their healing qualities. The rose petals
are also antibacterial, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory. They make
the skin soft, radiant and smooth. Soak rose petals in water to use it
as a toner for the oily skin.
Step 4:
Now, raid your fridge and get a small bunch of mint leaves, add it to
the warm water, and mix it with a spoon. Allow it to brew for good 15
to 20 minutes.
Mint has great effective benefits for your skin— it has antiseptic,
anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, which treats the skin
infections, such as acne, zits and any inflammatory condition. It also
cleans up your pores deeply and also prevents dryness. Mint refreshes
and hydrates the skin. It also helps in maintaining the natural moisture
level of the skin, leaving it extremely soft.
Step 5:
Allow the mint leaf and rose petal concoction to cool down and then
strain it into the spray bottle. Mix all the ingredients by shaking the
bottle rigorously. And your natural facial mist is done! As I love
floral scent a lot, I added some rose petals to the mist.
You can refrigerate this facial mist and can use it for up to a week.
Close your eyes and spray the mist. Refresh your skin with 3 to 4 pumps
of the mist and be ready to face the heat of the summer days!
The fresh fragrance of the mint leaves, lemon, and rose petals will
leave your skin instantly refreshed, calm, and clean. My skin feels soft
and hydrated because of the aloe vera gel. There is absolutely no sign
of stickiness with this mist, so you needn’t wash your face post
application. Try this natural face mist and pamper your skin this
summer!
