Homemade Soothing Summer Face Mist

Dry desert air, salty beach breezes, ocean water, sweat, sand, and chlorine all the things we love about summer, but can wreak the most havoc on our skin. They leave it dry, itchy, and desperately in need of relief. You can go pay spa prices for mineral waters with a few other ingredients in them or you can gather a few basic ingredients and create your own at home.  This Homemade Soothing Summer Face Mist gives your face, neck, and cleavage some much-needed refreshment. It also tones and moisturizes while outdoors and acts as a soothing after-sun spray as well. Toss a bottle into your purse, duffle bag, or beach tote, and treat yourself!
