I have been reading the back of several natural moisture sprays. I own a few and they are always over $20 for just 4oz. So, I ended up mixing together a few key ingredients to try and duplicate the effects, and I am quite pleased with the results.
You Will need:
One 4 oz spray bottle filled with water.
2tsp Now Glycerine
10 drops Young Living Lavender
1 tsp Aloe Vera Gel
Shake to mix
The Benefits:
Glycerine is a great natural moisturizer. It actually draws moisture from thre air. It is hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, all natural, and antibacterial.
Lavender has been used for ages for its balancing effect on skin. It calms stressed skin and emotions and is good for use on common skin irritations.
Aloe has been used successfully for psoriasis, cellular regeneration, and alleviating dry skin.
How To Apply:
For the best results use this formula right after the shower. I have diluted this spray by half and added rosemary for an anti-static hair spray.
Feel free to use other essential oils such as peppermint (for a cooling effect), Sandalwood (anti-wrinkle), Rosemary (for hair and scalp).
