We all want to look our best when the waking up! Even on four hours of sleep, like me.
Less make-up to apply at least!
I'm gonna show you the first step on how to get a healthy glow and hydrated skin.
My secret is to use a simple natural toner and a refresher setting spray
to keep my skin pH Balanced.
These steps will lock in that yummy skin nutrients with our moisturizer as a barrier. It suits all skin types.
Yeah, I hit the jackpot with my skin type: combo, sensitive and acne.
The magical ingredient can be found at health food stores or Amazon it!

Orange blossom water for four dollars. Used in desserts,
medicine, and cosmetics.
Basically it's flora water, known as hydrosol that is great as a facial toner
because there is no alcohol
or toxic preservatives. And you can see my pores are so minimized, less grease of a face,
and happy to not break out lately. The setting spray helps us cool down
in the summer heat.
Heal our dry and chapped skin from frisky cold winds and even when traveling.
Especially when the air conditioners is blasting that makes our skin so parched.
You ever feel like no matter how much water you drink daily, it's not enough?
I definitely do and this actually helps. Mist a few times a day.
Stay hydrated!
And of course sets our make-up to last longer by binding to the skin.
Absorbs all that powder we accidentally piled on. To prevent that
cake face look.
because you want to keep it natural.
Try wetting your make-up sponge and brush to spread the makeup evenly and it helps
pack intense color with your eyeshadow.
I like to highlight my under eyes using a moist sponge to glide the
concealer on for a flawless finish.
You can't even tell I have it on.
Use this to restyle your hair and it's great for oily scalps.
Back to basics, orange blossom water as we know it is a hydrosol. It is steam
from a bitter orange tree with a tiny does of neroli essential oil. It's
quite expensive so that's why I recommend just using the orange
blossom water.
It has free of additives and preservatives. It tones, hydrates, rebalance your skin. And the acidity
helps in exfoliating, it's an antiseptic, and an astringent.
So bacteria will stay away on your skin because it doesn't like acidic environment
Safe, gentle, and great for acne!
So I have tried a few floral water hydrosols. Lavender, witch hazel, and rosemary.
also the famous rosewater.
Which is great for dry and mature skin but and I feel like it doesn't
really do much for my skin at all. It actually dries it out
so that's the reason why orange blossom water is a win for me. It also smells
like heaven.
Let's begin! To Tone our skin, start with a clean face. Grab a cotton ball or a pad
and use a straight from the bootle.
Gently wipe away any traces of oil, soap, and makeup left behind.
Your skin will feel so soft and moist afterwards. Plus, the floral scent lingers for hours.
let your skin dry for thirty seconds before applying moisturizer to
lock in the nutrients.
I do this twice a day and my skin feels and look amazing!
Now to make your refresher setting spray, you are going to need a empty bottle of course.
and instead of using water like many other recipes i'm using the orange
blossom water because it's ultra hydrating and the wonderful things it does
to our skin. You can also combine with different floral water like rosewater too.
But I'm sticking with the magic ingredient,
orange blossom water. You will need glycerin and yes, you can use
vegetable glycerin to and can be found at the drugstore.
Best oil-free moisturizer because its sticky and it helps bind to
moisture in the air.
With an empty clean spray bottle, you will determine how much glycerin to add
by parts. The glycerin is a thick viscous liquid
that needs to be think out with water.
but we gonna use orange blossom water.
So here's the recipe for each skin-type.
Following this recipe, I have combination skin
so i'm going to divide the bottle into four equal parts.
one-fourth
is filled with glycerin
and the rest of the bottle, 3/4 will be filled with orange blossom
and you are almost done!
If you are not planning to make this fresh every week
Use vitamin E or grape seed oil to extend your setting mixture up to
four to six weeks.
Just add two to three drops of vitamin E or grapeseed oil. You can pierce out of a
capsule too!
Optional for extra skin benefits. I'm adding two drops of green tea extract.
It has antioxidants, anti-inflammatory
and anti-aging properties.
to fight against sun damage and hopefully aging.
so store this in a cool place and shake it before each use. You can spray this on the
face and body and also before after
applying your makeup.
Don't forget to close your eyes while spraying and if you spray a lot it will give you a dewy
finish. And on those hot days, make sure to blot excess oil off before
refreshening your look.
and now your skin happy because its healthy,
hydrated, and glowing within. And also you're not breaking the bank.
