My Tips

• Instead of rose water, feel free to simply use distilled water. You can also try lavender hydrosol which is floral water distilled from lavender flowers. It’s incredibly soothing and calming for skin.
• You can leave out the essential oils if you wish. I used geranium and lavender because have a skin toning and hydrating effect, plus beautiful scents! If you have acne, you can add tea tree essential oil.

See? It’s so easy to make your own DIY mattifying spray right?!
