Ingredients
1/4
cup
witch hazel
1/2
cup
water
boiled down to 1/4 cup
1
tbs
dried lavender
optional
1
tsp
vegetable glycerin
5-10
drops
essential oils
lavender, melaluca, frankincense, chamomile, or geranium would work well
Instructions
Add water and dried lavender to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until it is reduced to about half and allow to cool a bit.
In a glass container, add together witch hazel and glycerin.
Strain lavender water and add to witch hazel mixture.
Add a few drops essential oils.
Notes
If you don't have witch hazel, you could swap it out for apple cider vinegar.
Use dried lavender, chamomile flowers, or dried rose petals. Heck, you could even use a little of each.
Use store-bought rose hydrosol or lavender hydrosol rather than making your own water infusion.
Vegetable glycerin can help add moisture to the skin. If you don't have it, just skip it.
Use distilled water to help slow bacteria growth. You can also boil water and allow it to cool. This will kill the bacteria in the tap water.
This recipe will keep for about two weeks.
