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!

Soothing Summer Face Mist

Materials:

  • 1/4 cup distilled water
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
  • 1 teaspoon witch hazel
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or fractionated coconut oil
  • 4 drops frankincense essential oil
  • 2 drops tea tree oil essential oil
  • 4 ounce glass spray bottle with fine mist sprayer

Homemade Soothing Summer Face Mist- ingredients

Directions:

  1. Pour water into the bottle. Use a funnel if needed or you can grab your small glass measuring cup with a pouring lip to make the job easier and less messy.
  2. Melt the coconut oil and pour it in the bottle. You could also use fractionated coconut oil so it stays liquified.
  3. Add the aloe vera gel, witch hazel, frankincense, and tea tree essential oils to the bottle.Homemade Soothing Summer Face Mist- mixing in essential oils

Use as a refresher when playing sports, laying on the beach, working in your garden, or even on a long late-night flight- just reduce the bottle size to 2 oz.

      The resulting quantity seems to be small, so if you use it within a week probably there is no need for preservative

    Coconut oil clogs my pores. Do you have any recommendations for a substitute?

      You can try the rose water and green tea spray for summer..the antioxidant of the green tea works wonder while rose water keeps your skin fresh and glowing.
      You can even try olive oil instead of coconut if you want.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
