Rose Water Toners

A really simple beauty gift is a little bottle of rose water or rose toner (seen above). Pour it into old apothecary bottles and one will be hard pressed not to want to show it off on a vanity or sink. Here is how you can do it too:

What You'll need for a Rose Toner:
Organic roses &/or petals
Pure filtered water
Witch Hazel
Vitamin E (optional)
A Pinch of sea salt (optional)
A drop of glycerin (optional)
Rose essential oil (optional)
Rose hips (optional)

In a microwave or over the stove in a small sauce pan, combine the witch hazel, 1/2 cup of water and your rose petals (and rose hips if you have them). Bring to a simmer and turn heat off. Cover and let steep for 4 to 5 hours. Once cooled you can then add any of the optional ingredients. Decant into pretty glass bottles and you're done!

To use apply to your face with a cotton ball after cleansing your face and neck. In the winter especially this is so very soothing to the skin.
