Okay, so I’ve been seeing these skincare mists everywhere, and I finally caved. I mean, who doesn’t want a refreshing, hydrating boost throughout the day? I decided to try making my own, because, why not? It seemed easy enough, and I could control exactly what went into it.
Getting Started
First, I gathered my supplies. I already had some cute little spray bottles that I picked up a while back – perfect size for tossing in my bag. Then, I did some searching on ingredients. Seemed like everyone was using rose water and aloe vera, and those sounded good to me!.
- Empty spray bottles
- Rose water (I got some food-grade one, figuring it’d be purer)
- Aloe vera gel (the clear kind)
- Distilled water (because, tap water…no thanks)
Mixing It Up
Honestly, this part was super simple. No strict recipe needed. I poured in some rose water, spooned some aloe vera gel into the bottle, and then topped it off with distilled water. I was aiming for a light, watery consistency, not a thick, goopy mess.
The Result
After shaking it all up to mix everything , I spritzed some on my face… and it felt amazing! Seriously, so refreshing. It’s like a mini spa moment in the middle of a hectic day. The scent of the rose water is really subtle and calming, too.
I’ve been using it for a week now, spraying it on my face after cleansing, and sometimes just whenever I feel like my skin needs a little pick-me-up. My skin definitely feels more hydrated, and it seems to help with that tight, dry feeling I sometimes get. Plus, it’s a great way to cool down when it’s hot out.
I’m totally sold on this whole DIY skincare mist thing. It was easy, it’s affordable, and my skin seems to love it. Definitely going to keep experimenting with different ingredients – maybe adding some essential oils next time!
