Homemade Beauty: Lavender Facial Toner

Lavender is in bloom right now, so it is the perfect time to make this natural (and cheap!) DIY facial toner!

Ingredients:

1 Tbs lavender buds

1 cup pure witch hazel

6 drops lavender essential oil

1 cup distilled water

Directions:

Combine the witch hazel, lavender buds, and essential oil in an air tight jar and store in a cool, dark location for 2 weeks. Shake the jar vigorously every day while the lavender is steeping.
After 2 weeks, strain out the lavender buds using a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth.
Add 1 cup distilled water and mix.
Can be stored at room temperature and is best if used within 12 months of preparation.

You have to take a tram from the parking lot, a boat from the ticket center, and then go through the bag check! It is a solid 30 minute process!
