DIY Beauty- Refreshing Lavender Mist and Toner

This is a great, super cheap and effective toner which helps freshen the skin and reduce redness or sunburn.

Recipe:
  1. In a spray bottle combine several drops of lavender oil with Witch Hazel or distilled water to make a cooling mist for your body or pillow or apply neat oil to your temples to relieve stress.
  2.  Mix 1/2 teaspoon (50 drops) of 100% pure lavender essential oil with 2 oz distilled water. This creates quite a strong aroma so you may want to start with fewer drops and add drops until you reach the strength of aroma that is right for you.
    Before spraying shake bottle well to mix the oil with the water.
  3. Spray lavender water (see recipe above) over your body to help deter mosquitoes and ticks, dab neat essential oil on a cotton ball and place on your window sill to repel insects from entering.
