Rose Facial Lotion

Rose essential oil has perfect palliative, antiseptic, moisturizing, restorative and anti-aging qualities. Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia are the most famous types of roses for those qualities and the ones preferred for essential oils and rosewater. Here is a recipe for a wonderful facial lotion with all those regenerative properties.

What you need:

• 150ml Rosewater
• 3 teaspoons tincture of Calendula
• 1 drop Rose essential oil
• 3 drops Geranium essential oil
• 3 drops Rosewood essential oil
• 4 drops Chamomile essential oil

Preparation:

1. To make the Calendula tincture, put your dried calendula into a jar and cover it up with alcohol 45-50o (Vodka is perfect for that), in a 1:5 analogy. Keep it in cool and dark environment and leave it like this for 3-4 weeks. Don't forget to shake it frequently. After this period of time, take the herb out and keep the tincture into a brown sterilized glass jar, in cool environment.
   
2. Put the Calendula tincture with the essential oils into a small brown glass jar. Blend the mixture and leave it like this for 3-4 days, so that the ingredients are completely unified.
3. Mix the Rosewater with the Oil mixture, into a larger jar (it's better if you use a vaporizer).

Your lotion is ready to use! The combination of rosewater qualities with the regenerative and palliative qualities of Calendula, give us an ideal lotion for all skin types! :)
