This face spray is incredibly easy to make. Here is a step-by-step guide to creating your own rejuvenating mist.
Prepare the Fermented Rice Water: Two days before you plan to make the spray, rinse a half-cup of rice thoroughly. Place the rinsed rice in a jar with about two cups of water and let it sit on your countertop for 48 hours. After two days, the water will have a slightly sour smell and be slightly cloudy—this is exactly what you want. Strain the water and set it aside.
Brew the Clove and Green Tea: In a small pot, bring one cup of water to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add the clove buds and green-tea leaves. Let the mixture steep for at least 15-20 minutes, or until it has cooled to room temperature. This allows the beneficial compounds to be fully extracted. Strain the mixture to remove the solids.
Combine All Ingredients: In a clean spray bottle, combine the strained clove-and-green-tea infusion, the fermented rice water, the rose water, the freshly strained cucumber juice, and the aloe vera juice.
Shake Well: Secure the lid on your spray bottle and shake it vigorously to ensure all the ingredients are well-combined.
Store and Use: Store your homemade “Botox in a Bottle” in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and to enhance its cooling, soothing effect on your skin. Use it as a refreshing facial mist throughout the day, after cleansing, or to set your makeup.
By incorporating this simple, natural spray into your daily routine, you can provide your skin with a potent dose of antioxidants, hydration, and firming agents. It’s a testament to the power of nature and the fact that you don’t need a lab to create a truly effective skincare product.
