Herbal Cleansing Solution

Herbal water:

For cleansing action take the flowers of chamomile, plantain, nettles, lovage, parsley, lavender, rosemary, jasmine etc. To make an astringent solution which can tone the face you can take these important things for cleansing, like lemon, mint, sage, pansy, winter green etc.

Take water and then bring it to boil on low heat. Add the flowers and the leaves and then boil for 3 more minutes. Strain it and then keep it in freeze in a tight container.

Herbal Oil:

To make the herbal oil heat beeswax and lanolin in a double boiler. Add fruit or vegetable oil like almond, soya or avocado oil. When the solution melts completely and gets mixed then remove from the heat. Now add the herbal water prepared previously and cooled in the freezer in the ratio of 2:1.
