Aloe Vera  and Rose Water face mist

Good face mists are usually pricy and during summers you wish like spraying it all over every 10 minutes! So, here’s a face mist that would suit all skin types and pockets. Mix one part aloe vera gel and three parts rose water in a spray bottle and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Shake well and you have a perfect face mist! You may either take fresh aloe vera extract for this or use the aloe vera gel available in the market. Make small batches as it lasts for 7-8 days when kept refrigerated.
