Revitalising hydrosol toner for mature skin

Ingredients

• 50 ml Rose hydrosol (Rosa damascena)
• 30 ml Cornflower hydrosol (Centaurea cyanus)
• 20 ml Geranium hydrosol (Pelargonium graveolens)
• One clean 100 ml dark glass spray bottle

Preparation

Pour the rose hydrosol into the bottle, followed by the cornflower and geranium hydrosols. Close the bottle and gently swirl to combine.

Label your bottle with the preparation date and the names of all three hydrosols.

How to use

As a daily facial toner

Spray generously onto freshly cleansed skin, including the neck and décolletage. Gently press the toner into your skin with your palms, without rubbing. Follow with your usual serum or moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp.

As a refreshing facial mist

Mist lightly over your face throughout the day whenever your skin needs a little extra freshness and comfort. Avoid spraying directly into the eyes.

As a hydrating face mask

Soak a dry compressed sheet mask with the toner and apply it to your face for 5–10 minutes. Remove the mask before it dries and follow with your usual skincare products.

Storage

Store your prepared toner in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. A 100 ml bottle should last approximately 2–3 weeks with regular use. Avoid preparing large quantities at once.

Keep any remaining hydrosols in their original bottles in the fridge after opening.

For a more comprehensive approach

According to traditional French aromatherapy, rose hydrosol can also be enjoyed as part of a daily wellbeing ritual.

Add 1 teaspoon of rose hydrosol to a glass of water once a day for 21 days.
