OMG! This is magic in a bottle. My skin has been flaky for a couple days and I made my own facial mist following your video, and my skin is now flaky free in two days.
I see.. May I know how long this DIY mist can last ? 1 month or more? Perhaps you know any ingredients or method that can help to last it longer period. Btw thank you for u reply and info I appreciate it🙏🏻😊
Yes!!! I've watched this video so many times before deciding to do it myself. And then I tweaked it because the aloe Vera juice was too much for my dry skin (I know, how is that possible). My new recipe was: 30% aloe Vera juice 30% thayers witch hazel with aloe vera and rose water 10% rose water 20% glycerin 5% organic jojoba oil 5% organic sweet almond oil My skin is in love.
Turns out it DOES matter what aloe Vera juice you choose to use--and from what brand. My first couple times making this mist, I used Lily of the Desert Organic Whole leaf aloe Vera juice and it was more thick and not as watery as George's Always Active aloe Vera juice. Recently, I purchased George's (the aloe Vera juice used in this video) AND MY MIST WAS SO MUCH BETTER. I've changed my concoction to: 50% George's Always Active aloe Vera juice 15% thayers witch hazel with aloe Vera juice and rose water 10% Organic rose water (for scent) 10% glycerin 5% organic jojoba oil 5% organic sweet almond oil 5% Jason's vitamin e oil
This face mist is absolutely incredible! I love it on my face but found that it is an amazing moisturizer for my legs post shaving AND works wonders on KP (those annoying bumps all over my arms.) I used about 2/3 aloe juice, glycerin, a small amount of rose hip seed oil, vitamin e, and rose water. The ratios were about the same as given here in the video I just reduced the aloe a little bit to leave room for the rose water.
Hi Renee , i rarely write comments but since i discover you chanel , i'm so in love of all the skills you have been sharing and my skin has never been such nice thanks to your teachings , know i know exactely what i can use dor what concern of my skin. thank you a lot .I'm darker skin tone women and i have never found an appropriate skin care until i discovered Korean skincare which has changed my live. you are such an inspiration to many. your DIY mist has changed my life and my face has never been as plumbing as now. instead of olive oil i have used rosehip oil and my skin look five years younger now. you are such a blessing for me and my daughter .we love you so much 😍😍😍❤❤
i just found your channel and absolutely love it! i have normal to combo skin that is pretty sensitive to products and break outs. i used 75% aloe, 10% glycerin, And based on your oils video I did 5% Sweet almond, grapeseed, and apricot kernel. then added about 10 drops of tea tree oil. for some reason my skin hates salicylic acid but loves tea tree oil. i can put it directly on break outs and the next morning they are next gone. so I really wanted to create a health food ance preventing spray. i just tested it on my arm and I love how fast my skin absorbed it leaving a healthy but not greasy glow! I'm so happy with it! thank you so much for sharing this video!
I have been playing around with this for the past few days. I have made three different versions of this: one with Tea Tree Oil, one with Jojoba Oil and Sea Berry Oil, and another with Herbivore's Lapis Oil. I also added some of the Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid to each bottle and it has just done wonders for my skin. I was so happy to see how cheap the ingredients you used were. I go through face mists very quickly so I had to quit buying it (especially at $20 - $30 a bottle)! Thanks for posting this!
I made my own, following your DIY recipe, substituting 100% pure argan oil for the vitamin E oil and Innisfree oil, and my skin feels so supple after using this spray for two days. I love using it over my bare skin as a refresher and as a makeup refresher as well. It gives me a nice, healthy dewy look. FINALLY^^ Thank you for showing this spray recipe to all your viewers c:
This mist is amazinging. I've got acne prone textured skin, and after a week of use my complexion was brighter, more even, and my pores appeared smaller. I used all the same ingredients except jojoba oil instead of olive.
My version of this mist so far: aloe juice 80%, glycerine 10%, then I add a few drops of Grapeseed oil, a few drops of TeaTree Oil, and top it off with a few (sparing drops) of The Ordinary's R3%F3% antioxidant. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin (hence the use of grapeseed and tea tree oil). I'm experimenting with a smaller travel size spray bottle and mostly use it at night. My acne is under control for the most part, but with the winter weather setting in, even oily/combo skin gets dry and I wanted to try something that would provide a boost of hydration plus a little acne fighting. Fingers crossed this helps. Regardless, I love your channel. I've been following it for over a year now ever since I stumbled upon Korean beauty, etc. I appreciate the diy's and the reviews on more affordable beauty products (under $20 & under $10 episodes). Happiest of Holidays!
I made my own. Ordered everything off of Amazon. Found dark green plastic spray bottles in two ounce size. I use 40cc of pure aloe Vera juice, 10cc of vegetable glycerine, 5cc of thayers witch hazel cucumber, 5cc of vitamin e and 5cc of marula oil. This is a total of 65cc. The bottle allows for overfill. I shake before use. And it's the best stuff ever with a fresh clean scent. My daughter asked me to make her a bottle. She loves it, too! Thanks for giving me the power to improve my skin. I think that I will be making these as Christmas gifts this year for my favorite ladies!
Hello and happy new year! I wanted to let you know that I tried out your facial mist "recipe". I used aloe vera juice (though the product I purchased has a tan tinge - not sure if that is a bad thing), vegetable glycerin, vitamin E oil, and jojoba oil. I am so pleased with the results! Given the number of times a day I spray my face, my facial mist addiction was getting a little expensive - this is a fantastic and affordable alternative, plus I know exactly what ingredients are included. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Happy new year to you! Fabulous! So happy you tried it, isn't this mist great? I swear it's better than most of the ones on the market and actually great for the skin as it's waterless so doesn't just evaporate into thin air. I love that you used jojoba!
Any suggestions on the best spritz bottle to use? I've found that all the ones available around here either spray too much, too little, in too fine of a squirt, or in too wide of a radius (I'm not too keen on getting it in my hair).
+Amy Seiter Ha, I hear that! I've bought mists purely on the spray container and the way it mists! I actually really like the muji one I have. I also have a mini glass one from a mist I purchased and used up - I've started saving the bottles.
Oh yeah! I just recently started saving the bottles - still one of my biggest regrets was throwing away an empty bottle of Omorovicza's Queen of Hungary mist! (bottle's great, product not so much - way overpriced)
+Amy Seiter oh i have a travel size of Omorovicza's mist! i was just wondering if that was refillable because the bottom portion actually moves up as the formula disappears. i will try to push the bottom back down or somethign and hopefully that works. :) i agree, the mist is refreshing when you spray, but does not do much for the skin and is overpriced
Hi Renee, I love your channel, and this face mist recipe got me into making other diy skincare, and I think it's so great. I'm on my third batch and I've made one for my friend. My favorite bottle I've tried is glass and tinted and from the brand Aura Cacia. It's 2 ounces and the mist it sprays is very even. (I find it at Life Thyme on 6th AVE and 8th ST in NYC, sometimes they're sold out) I customized the recipe for acne prone skin like mine. I do 60% Aloe, 20% Organic Bulgarian White Rose Water, 10% Vegetable Glycerine, 5% Vitamin E, and then I use 5% Black Seed Oil. The black seed oil has a really pleasant scent, it's anti-inflammatory, and it's much lighter than other oils I tried in the spray. I think it will be especially good for the spring and summer when it starts to heat up. I'm using it for the first time on an airplane tomorrow. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos! I think your channel is so unique!
+Sarah Elizabeth Foster Hi Sarah, thank you SO much! This sounds fabulous, I love your recipe! I will also be on the lookout for those glass bottles when I'm in Life Thyme (best place ever), thank you so much for that recommendation! Please let me know how this recipe has worked for you, it sounds so luxurious!
Hey....i used your ratios for the receipe... i have oily skin..like really oily..and i am finding it very sticky. Can you all tell me any changes i can make to prevent the same. Thanks!!☺☺
Hooray DIY! I hope you make more of these videos. It would be great to have your perspective on DIY skincare products. It's wonderful how easy it can be to make your own mists cleaners and face wipes with pretty much the same ingredients. But with your knowledge, I'm sure you could take it to the next level :)
+Margaret Elizabeth Thank you for your vote of confidence! I would love to do more DIY on products that can be better than skincare one can purchase. This mist definitely is. Personally, I am really surprised with some of the 'popular' ingredients people are putting in their homemade products that are actually really bad for the skin. There is too much misinformation out there!
+Gothamista Yes, please do make more DIY skincare with the right ingredients. Maybe you can do videos for normal skin, dry, combination (like mine), acne prone, aging/sun spotted skin. Please, please! :)
I’ve been eyeing this video for quite some time and I actually took the time to buy the items. And I’m so thankful you shared this with us. I had a lot of inflammation and redness and didn’t know how to fix it. And most of it has disappeared with this mist I could not believe it. It has only been 3 days since I’ve used this. Thank you so much!
I have been binge watching your videos for the past day whenever I have free time. I absolutely love the way you explain everything and I am super envious of your skin. You are definitely making me want to spend all my money on new skincare. Well, back to watching your videos. :)
I made this a few days ago, and my skin is loving it! I followed your recipe and for the face oil I used half argan and half jojoba. I put in a few drops of rose absolute essential oil too. It's heavenly. Thanks so much for this recipe!!!
After watching this video I immediately went to the store and bought the ingredients. I LOVE IT! I was previously using the Caudalie beauty elixir face mist, but it dried my skin out more than anything (and like you said the first ingredients were water and alcohol! Now I know to look for that)...but THIS keeps things so simple. Thank you!
+Madalyn Hart I'm so happy you made it! This is the best face mist I use as it's ridiculously difficult to find ones out there that don't have water and alcohol. I'm so baffled as to how Claudalie's Elixir mist is so popular, the first time I tried it, my face stung like crazy! Then, of course, I saw the alcohol...
thank God, i found ur channel. I want to make my DIY hydrating toner and confusing using water or not, and ur content saved me... i will skip (WATER/AQUA) for my diy hydrating toner. Thank you :)
You are by far my favorite skin care guru! I just came back from NYC and visited Muji to buy a mist bottle. Rushed home this evening to make your DIY facial mist recipe with jojoba oil. It's doing a wonderful job soothing my irritated skin from the blazing NYC sun. Thank you for sharing!
Could I use it like a toner too... my chin is getting dry because I'm doing my own creams for my face... what could I use so my chin won't be dry...I need some good ideas.. thanks
This actually works! I mean here’s the key u have to buy the **fractionated aloe Vera gel **** not regular GEL***. You don’t specify in the video. But that’s the secret. And wow it locks in moisture and hydrates like nothing else!!!
From Sydney Australia. This is a nice mist. I added a Liquid Germall Plus preservative in mine to prevent the mouldy bacterial microbial yeasty beasties from growing in my product. I also added 1 drop ea of Roman Chamomile and German chamomile too. Very nice.
I am absolutely going to try this. I might use fresh aloe because I have so much in my garden. I did make my own rose & hibiscus water using fresh petals, and you are so right...the water alone wasn't very hydrating. Thank You!
I’ve really been struggling to find a facial spray I’m willing to spend my money on and this is just perfect for me. I’d rather spend my money on fairly simple ingredients and know exactly what goes in rather than on someone else’s $40 fancy diluted water. This is not cheep exactly but hopefully I’ll get a lot of use out what I’m buying to make it! I already have plenty of spray bottles from other mists around the house so this will be a good use for them!
Water doesn't make oils evaporate, water bonds to other water molecules, meaning as it evaporates from your skin it's also drawing moisture from the skin if let dry naturally, so pat drying the skin with a cloth will solve the issue
Stephanie Hopman I was always taught not to dry your skin and let the water evaporate leaves more moisture in your skin., what I’ve always done., guess it’s different for everybody
Thanks for sharing! :) Ordered the same aloe, glycerin and vitamin E. Added my Trilogy Rosehip Oil as last 5%. Love it! Can't stop spritzing my face! ;)
Yes!! I was just looking up diy facial mist recipes containing rose hip oil and/rose water. I love the Mario Badescu facial spray but the first ingredient is water😬. So maybe something similar to that but w that aloe vera jiuce??
Just finished trying a version of ur mist: 80% Aloe Vera Juice, 5% Hada Labo HA Lotion, 7% Jojoba Oil, 5% Rose Witch Hazel, & 3% Helichrysum Italicum Oil. I regret putting the Helichrysum oil drops into the mist formula. I thought it was an oil but it was an "essential" oil. My face itches a little when I sprayed it, but will give it another go & if my face still gets irritated by it, I'll just use it as a body mist. Will try this out again without the helichrysum italicum oil soon! Trial n error. Thanks love for sharing.
Fabulous!! I love it, yes, the essential oil is most likely what's irritating your skin as they are known irritants especially when you are using more than a few drops. Unless it's the witch hazel, everything else sounds amazing. I love your recipe!
Love the video! I have aloe plants at home so I think I can cut some of it and add it into a bottle with the rest of the ingredients. Please do more DIY!
Thank's. I'm writing you from Italy and I'm using everiday your Corean skincare so my skin is wonderful (I'm 53 years old). But the Essence here are espensive and I've difficult to find them. Now I'll make your recipe. I've everithing and I've to buy only the Aloe vera juice
I wanted to make a green tea toner, but since it's just water, a green tea bag, and oils, can I replace the water with aloe vera juice to make it more effective?
The reason that water is often listed in the ingredients list of skin care product is because water is what moisturize your skin. While the oils in skins product helps keep the moisture in your skin.
I have always suffer with dry face but some days is worse than others making it so difficult to wear makeup sometimes. I've tried sooooo many moisturizers. Expensive or not nothing seams to work permanently even though I drink plenty of water. I'm going to give this mist a try and see. Hopefully it will work. 🙏🏼
I making my own too but I used 40% pure rose hydrosol , 45% pure alcohol free distilled witch hazel, 10% good quality aloe Vera gel, 2.5% vegetable glycerin and 2.5 vitamin E. I don't like too much glycerin because it feels my face like wet or sticky.
hey, where did you buy all of your ingredients? am currently an expat here in saudi arabia, not much products here to buy. just wondering if you bought your ingredients online. thanks
a lil water isn't going to kill. -.- She was speaking on the main (70%+) ingredient being water. Having water and being water are not equal. To +Lutzi Germinal expat lady; someone said they got theirs at iHerb who ship international. Saudi is tricky sometimes they don't ship there but i'd definitely check girl! :)
I made the mist myself using Holland and Barett Aloe Vera Drink (99%) and glycerin, and my face was burning red and irritated. After cleansing it got less red, but it still burns. Maybe it is because put lemon juice on my face earlier today, or because there is citric acid inside the juice, however usually my skin can handle lemon juice very well.
I just came across this video! Love it! I have really inflamed and acne prone skin right now. I modified this with about 70% aloe Vera water, alcohol free witch hazel, rose water, a small amount of vitamin e and hemp seed oil. Hemp really helps with redness and inflammation
George’s aloe Vera is actually distilled aloe liquid , it has a longer shelf life than most aloes. However combining it with the oil and stuff I’m not sure. But glycerine & Vit e are considered antioxidants /mild preservatives
This is very easy to do, easy enough I can do it.! I will definitely will give this a try, hope it works for me.! Thank you, really liked this video and pretty informative.!
Could you make a diy essence please? I wonder if essences just “water down face creams” (but instead of using water they use some type of hydrating fluid).
I might make a moisturizing body mist with this but I will most likely bring the aloe down to 70 and use sweet almond oil, sandalwood, grapeseed and jojoba as my choice of oils. I might also make face mist using rosehip + teatree as my choice of oils.
Hello, I have just found you, looking for sheet mask and I am enjoying watching your videos...you are so strait forward and look and sound sincere. Thank you for your wealth of information, and now back binging on your videos, lol
Hi~~ I'm not sure if you will notice this comment but if you do, thank you very much. I would just like to know how do you clean/sterilise the plastic spray mist bottle before your 1st time use & like after that, for each refills. I just couldn't seem to find a proper solution to this anywhere. would be great if you could help
So tempted to try out this recipe right away! Hopefully I would be able to find these ingredients in the Supermarket because I've never seen them before >_
Jolene Ng hi! I have seen them at Whole Foods and Fruitful Yield stores. Hope that was helpful. The health/beauty section of Vitamin Shoppe has also been a good place to find natural & pure products. :)
I just found your channel, and I'm hooked! I tried to make this mist, but mine came out WAAAY too goopy, and wouldn't "mist". I couldn't get the particular brand of aloe you suggested, though everything else are the brands you listed. I got Laguna Moon 100% Aloe Vera Gel. I had to put about half of my bottle in a small pot (too precious to put down the sink, and I figured I could use it as a hydrating mask later) and topped up the bottle with water. I hated doing that, because the whole point was to be waterless - but at this moment I didn't have much choice. Going forward though, I'd like to know how to fix my formula? Thanks in advance!
The aloe she uses is a distilled version, which means the liquid is thin like water. Aloe vera gel has ingredients added to thicken it. You need to use a non-gel aloe vera for it to work as a spray with her recipe.
I love this recipe can't wait to try it! Can I ask if you recommend any type of Preservative to make this last longer as I am going away for a month and would love to take some that will stay fresh? 😊 Thanks for the amazing videos x
Can you use it on top of make up? I have very dry skin and after a couple of hours it starts to crack, and I use such a thin layer. It cracks because of the dryness, not because it's thick and cakie. Thank you for an awazing channel! :)
Hi! Do you have a video about witch hazel, glycerine, rose water and green tea extract? If not, can you please make one? Thanks in advance! ❤ I love you videos 😍❤
Good ideas except I don’t want to put oils in my face mist at all...my face tends to produce a lot of oil and the oil from my hair tends to transfer to my face....but I think I’ll definitely use the aloe juice and probably mix with fresh aloe......maybe only vitamin E
i just saw this video can't wait to try my own mist i will let you kno what i do but i know for being oily skin im looking into using probably some tea tree vitamin E or jojoba or rosehip wish me luck on my first try
Hello Renee, Thanks for sharing this amazing simple-to-make recipe for sensitive skin. I love that’s it’s all natural ingredients. I wanted to ask, when looking for facial mist at stores, we should be looking for waterless/aqualess and no alcohol products. Is that right? It’s just that a few of the face mists you have recommended in your face mist videos, and other popular face mists like the maria badescu rose water one seem to have water as their first ingredient.
d3222ee I think the important part is about how it feels. Something could have the first ingredient as water but if the second is strong enough and it doesn’t have that tight feeling on your face then it should be fine. I don’t think she would recommend something that dries her face although I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on something that has water as first ingredient personally..
Water isn't really the issue. In tons of store bought "toning mists" their main ingredient is water. Water is a place that bacteria loves to grow so most companies will include a preservative to prevent that from happening. Some of these preservatives are alcohols. Not all alcohols will dry everyone out as not all alcohols are the same. But in my experience as an esthetician, many people are less tolerant to certain alcohols and other preservatives than you'd think. As well as emulsifiers. So it's important to get (for example) 100% rose water with no added alcohols or preservatives. And you can always keep it in the fridge to make it last longer, it's even more refreshing too. And always good to use a facial oil or moisturizer on top to occlude the hydration you just gave your skin!
OMG! This is magic in a bottle. My skin has been flaky for a couple days and I made my own facial mist following your video, and my skin is now flaky free in two days.
got you to 100 likes 😂
What’s so funny about getting 100 likes?
Hi Pretty 😊 can u let me know where you buy all the ingredients?
@@catherineleemeishan5866 I bought the aloe vera liquid from the vitamin shoppe, and the glycerin from Amazon.
I see.. May I know how long this DIY mist can last ? 1 month or more? Perhaps you know any ingredients or method that can help to last it longer period.
Btw thank you for u reply and info I appreciate it🙏🏻😊

I've also forced this video on every female in my family. And friends. It's that great.
Witch hazel is 15% alcohol after the distillation process.
kathyvanggg Where did you buy the Aloe juice? I'd prefer to go into a physical store rather than online, just faster
This face mist is absolutely incredible! I love it on my face but found that it is an amazing moisturizer for my legs post shaving AND works wonders on KP (those annoying bumps all over my arms.)

That sounds like a good mix to me too :)
Hey Renee I've got 88% Aloe juice with Sodium Benzoate and Potassium sorbate as preservative is that fine?
@Bob Mag....Would love to know the answer to this also as the Aloe juice i have has the same ingredients.....
Answer to what?
I have been playing around with this for the past few days. I have made three different versions of this: one with Tea Tree Oil, one with Jojoba Oil and Sea Berry Oil, and another with Herbivore's Lapis Oil. I also added some of the Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid to each bottle and it has just done wonders for my skin. I was so happy to see how cheap the ingredients you used were.

I am thinking about using grapeseed oil instead of jojoba oil. How is the grapeseed oil working for you?
I made my own. Ordered everything off of Amazon. Found dark green plastic spray bottles in two ounce size. I use 40cc of pure aloe Vera juice, 10cc of vegetable glycerine, 5cc of thayers witch hazel cucumber, 5cc of vitamin e and 5cc of marula oil. This is a total of 65cc. The bottle allows for overfill.

Please let me know how this recipe has worked for you, it sounds so luxurious!
Sarah Elizabeth Foster i
Hey....i used your ratios for the receipe... i have oily skin..like really oily..and i am finding it very sticky. Can you all tell me any changes i can make to prevent the same.
Thanks!!☺☺
this is the OG video of face mists. i've been using this combo for like five years and my skin is perfect
Just made it. I'm not sure which face oil to add... but I'm excited to use it. Thank you :) xo
try jojoba oil!
Just made my version of this, used everything listed and added my own twist the addition of rose water. My face feels so good; thanks for sharing!❤
gorgeous!
Hey, How much rose water did you use ?
Hooray DIY! I hope you make more of these videos. It would be great to have your perspective on DIY skincare products. It's wonderful how easy it can be to make your own mists cleaners and face wipes with pretty much the same ingredients. But with your knowledge, I'm sure you could take it to the next level :)
+Margaret Elizabeth Thank you for your vote of confidence! I would love to do more DIY on products that can be better than skincare one can purchase. This mist definitely is. Personally, I am really surprised with some of the 'popular' ingredients people are putting in their homemade products that are actually really bad for the skin. There is too much misinformation out there!
+Gothamista Yes, please do make more DIY skincare with the right ingredients. Maybe you can do videos for normal skin, dry, combination (like mine), acne prone, aging/sun spotted skin. Please, please! :)
I’ve been eyeing this video for quite some time and I actually took the time to buy the items. And I’m so thankful you shared this with us. I had a lot of inflammation and redness and didn’t know how to fix it. And most of it has disappeared with this mist I could not believe it. It has only been 3 days since I’ve used this. Thank you so much!
I have been binge watching your videos for the past day whenever I have free time. I absolutely love the way you explain everything and I am super envious of your skin. You are definitely making me want to spend all my money on new skincare. Well, back to watching your videos. :)
I made this a few days ago, and my skin is loving it! I followed your recipe and for the face oil I used half argan and half jojoba. I put in a few drops of rose absolute essential oil too. It's heavenly. Thanks so much for this recipe!!!
After watching this video I immediately went to the store and bought the ingredients. I LOVE IT! I was previously using the Caudalie beauty elixir face mist, but it dried my skin out more than anything (and like you said the first ingredients were water and alcohol! Now I know to look for that)...but THIS keeps things so simple. Thank you!
+Madalyn Hart I'm so happy you made it! This is the best face mist I use as it's ridiculously difficult to find ones out there that don't have water and alcohol. I'm so baffled as to how Claudalie's Elixir mist is so popular, the first time I tried it, my face stung like crazy! Then, of course, I saw the alcohol...
Hi, what is the shelf life of this mist? and Does this mist need to be refrigerated?
would prob last longer in a brown glass spray bottle
I made this mist just with the aloe vera juice & glycerin. I love it. It's so soothing & comforting. Thank you so much for this vid 💗
thank God, i found ur channel. I want to make my DIY hydrating toner and confusing using water or not, and ur content saved me... i will skip (WATER/AQUA) for my diy hydrating toner.
Thank you :)
I put mine in the fridge and it doubles as a menopause mist which in Texas in August is a must have! Thank you for this!😅
I just went out and got the same aloe and glycerin and MY RED IRRITATED FACE FEELS AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU
This is why you are one of my favourite UA-cam channels
You are by far my favorite skin care guru! I just came back from NYC and visited Muji to buy a mist bottle. Rushed home this evening to make your DIY facial mist recipe with jojoba oil. It's doing a wonderful job soothing my irritated skin from the blazing NYC sun. Thank you for sharing!
aww thank you, lovely! yes, you were here during the horrible heat wave! keep the mist in the fridge so it's extra soothing!
Love! A DIY that I know I will use like crazy. Props to my fave skincare geek!
Haha! Let me know how it goes!
Could I use it like a toner too... my chin is getting dry because I'm doing my own creams for my face... what could I use so my chin won't be dry...I need some good ideas.. thanks
I need to make this! This video is 5 years old, so would you change anything now? Thanks so much!
What’s the shelf life for this? Thanks
This actually works! I mean here’s the key u have to buy the **fractionated aloe Vera gel **** not regular GEL***. You don’t specify in the video. But that’s the secret. And wow it locks in moisture and hydrates like nothing else!!!
From Sydney Australia. This is a nice mist. I added a Liquid Germall Plus preservative in mine to prevent the mouldy bacterial microbial yeasty beasties from growing in my product. I also added 1 drop ea of Roman Chamomile and German chamomile too. Very nice.
I am absolutely going to try this. I might use fresh aloe because I have so much in my garden. I did make my own rose & hibiscus water using fresh petals, and you are so right...the water alone wasn't very hydrating. Thank You!
Wow I like how natural & simply pure it is! Amazed
I’ve really been struggling to find a facial spray I’m willing to spend my money on and this is just perfect for me. I’d rather spend my money on fairly simple ingredients and know exactly what goes in rather than on someone else’s $40 fancy diluted water. This is not cheep exactly but hopefully I’ll get a lot of use out what I’m buying to make it! I already have plenty of spray bottles from other mists around the house so this will be a good use for them!
Water doesn't make oils evaporate, water bonds to other water molecules, meaning as it evaporates from your skin it's also drawing moisture from the skin if let dry naturally, so pat drying the skin with a cloth will solve the issue
Stephanie Hopman I was always taught not to dry your skin and let the water evaporate leaves more moisture in your skin., what I’ve always done., guess it’s different for everybody
Actually I am curious - what is your occupation you seem so knowledgeable about ingredients and all that stuffs!
lots of research...its that simple.
Shes a beauty buyer! So its basically her job to know this stuff :) she talks about it in her 1 yr celebration video!
yup I saw that too ^^
minj.k
yup I saw that too ^^
+minj.k oh wow cool
This is my daily toner and I love it. thank you
Thanks for sharing! :) Ordered the same aloe, glycerin and vitamin E. Added my Trilogy Rosehip Oil as last 5%. Love it! Can't stop spritzing my face! ;)
Fabulous! I'm so happy you're loving it!
So funny, i intuitively made this for myself months ago. So nice to learn all of the benefits. Thank you, you make excellent videos!
can you do tutorials for diy rose water ...?😍😙😙😘😘
Great idea!
thank you😙
YESS A DIY ROSE WATER
Yes!! I was just looking up diy facial mist recipes containing rose hip oil and/rose water. I love the Mario Badescu facial spray but the first ingredient is water😬. So maybe something similar to that but w that aloe vera jiuce??
Angelica Neverland Can rose water be incorporated into this mist somehow?
Just finished trying a version of ur mist: 80% Aloe Vera Juice, 5% Hada Labo HA Lotion, 7% Jojoba Oil, 5% Rose Witch Hazel, & 3% Helichrysum Italicum Oil. I regret putting the Helichrysum oil drops into the mist formula. I thought it was an oil but it was an "essential" oil. My face itches a little when I sprayed it, but will give it another go & if my face still gets irritated by it, I'll just use it as a body mist. Will try this out again without the helichrysum italicum oil soon! Trial n error. Thanks love for sharing.
Fabulous!! I love it, yes, the essential oil is most likely what's irritating your skin as they are known irritants especially when you are using more than a few drops. Unless it's the witch hazel, everything else sounds amazing. I love your recipe!
You are so incredibly knowledgable! Love your videos
Love the video! I have aloe plants at home so I think I can cut some of it and add it into a bottle with the rest of the ingredients. Please do more DIY!
Did it work?
EXCELLENT video! Quick and straight to the point! I will definitely be making this! THANKS!😃😃
Just made this, I also added rosehip oil. Will make cute gifts too. Thanks for recipe!
Thank's. I'm writing you from Italy and I'm using everiday your Corean skincare so my skin is wonderful (I'm 53 years old).
But the Essence here are espensive and I've difficult to find them. Now I'll make your recipe. I've everithing and I've to buy only the Aloe vera juice
I wanted to make a green tea toner, but since it's just water, a green tea bag, and oils, can I replace the water with aloe vera juice to make it more effective?
I think you need the warm water to steep the tea in. So perhaps you could replace some of the water with aloe!
@@gothamista how long does this keep ( expiry date and storage instructions)
Shes unbelievably gorgeous
The reason that water is often listed in the ingredients list of skin care product is because water is what moisturize your skin. While the oils in skins product helps keep the moisture in your skin.
Hi. Thx so much for sharing this recipe. I prepared it tonight with the addition of frankincense oil to complete my toner recipe. Love it :D
I have always suffer with dry face but some days is worse than others making it so difficult to wear makeup sometimes. I've tried sooooo many moisturizers. Expensive or not nothing seams to work permanently even though I drink plenty of water. I'm going to give this mist a try and see. Hopefully it will work. 🙏🏼
I making my own too but I used 40% pure rose hydrosol , 45% pure alcohol free distilled witch hazel, 10% good quality aloe Vera gel, 2.5% vegetable glycerin and 2.5 vitamin E. I don't like too much glycerin because it feels my face like wet or sticky.
hey, where did you buy all of your ingredients? am currently an expat here in saudi arabia, not much products here to buy. just wondering if you bought your ingredients online. thanks
+Klaudeen Charmaine Esteban I bought online in soap kitchen or in new directions aromatics here in uk. But I don't know if you're in medium east.
+Luzvi Germinal thanks. 😀
a lil water isn't going to kill. -.- She was speaking on the main (70%+) ingredient being water. Having water and being water are not equal.
To +Lutzi Germinal expat lady; someone said they got theirs at iHerb who ship international. Saudi is tricky sometimes they don't ship there but i'd definitely check girl! :)
kumukuthi teban Can use raw aloe Vera and mix with vitamin e oil only? so, how much vitamin e oil and aloe Vera shoud I use?
The best skin I have ever seen! You are lovely
I made the mist myself using Holland and Barett Aloe Vera Drink (99%) and glycerin, and my face was burning red and irritated. After cleansing it got less red, but it still burns. Maybe it is because put lemon juice on my face earlier today, or because there is citric acid inside the juice, however usually my skin can handle lemon juice very well.
+Betül Kocakaya lemon juice sensitizes the skin.
I just came across this video! Love it! I have really inflamed and acne prone skin right now. I modified this with about 70% aloe Vera water, alcohol free witch hazel, rose water, a small amount of vitamin e and hemp seed oil. Hemp really helps with redness and inflammation
I love your recipe!
Oooooooh!!!! Must try thank you!!!!!
+Gothamista me too!!
I just bought all the products. I can’t wait to make this.
I love it I can't believe how hydrating and moisturizing it felt I came back just to subscribe and thank you a lot
Does anyone know the shelf life for something like this?
George’s aloe Vera is actually distilled aloe liquid , it has a longer shelf life than most aloes. However combining it with the oil and stuff I’m not sure. But glycerine & Vit e are considered antioxidants /mild preservatives
This is very easy to do, easy enough I can do it.! I will definitely will give this a try, hope it works for me.! Thank you, really liked this video and pretty informative.!
Awesome!!! Will never be without this! Saved me this winter. How do you tweek for spring/summer?
Could you make a diy essence please?
I wonder if essences just “water down face creams” (but instead of using water they use some type of hydrating fluid).
Can't wait to try it! Great healthy skin recipe! 💕
I might make a moisturizing body mist with this but I will most likely bring the aloe down to 70 and use sweet almond oil, sandalwood, grapeseed and jojoba as my choice of oils. I might also make face mist using rosehip + teatree as my choice of oils.
Your knowledge is everything.
I love this spray! I put some rose water in mine, just love the smell xxx
Dear Renée, thank you so much for sharing with us your knowledge
More DIY videos like this!! I'm whipping me and my daughter up one tonight!!
The best! I love it❤
Can you use this recipe in one of those portable nano facial mister?
Hey Renee do you still use a facial mist in 2018?
Li' Momma yea
looks like fun - Can't wait to try it! Thanks so much for all you do!
Thank YOU!
Omg! This is an amazing mist! Love,love.
I bought all the ingredients today...excited to make the mist! Thank you for sharing!
+Thu yay! Have fun!
Loving the mist! So gonna use it when I'm on the plane.
Can i ask something? Let's say i hve makeup on, foundie or bb cream, then i spray this, will it be absorbed or just evaporate on top? Thanks
Hello, I have just found you, looking for sheet mask and I am enjoying watching your videos...you are so strait forward and look and sound sincere. Thank you for your wealth of information, and now back binging on your videos, lol
Ha! Thank you for taking a break to leave me such a lovely comment!
Hi~~ I'm not sure if you will notice this comment but if you do, thank you very much.
I would just like to know how do you clean/sterilise the plastic spray mist bottle before your 1st time use & like after that, for each refills. I just couldn't seem to find a proper solution to this anywhere. would be great if you could help
So tempted to try out this recipe right away! Hopefully I would be able to find these ingredients in the Supermarket because I've never seen them before >_
Jolene Ng hi! I have seen them at Whole Foods and Fruitful Yield stores. Hope that was helpful. The health/beauty section of Vitamin Shoppe has also been a good place to find natural & pure products. :)
I just found your channel, and I'm hooked! I tried to make this mist, but mine came out WAAAY too goopy, and wouldn't "mist". I couldn't get the particular brand of aloe you suggested, though everything else are the brands you listed. I got Laguna Moon 100% Aloe Vera Gel. I had to put about half of my bottle in a small pot (too precious to put down the sink, and I figured I could use it as a hydrating mask later) and topped up the bottle with water. I hated doing that, because the whole point was to be waterless - but at this moment I didn't have much choice. Going forward though, I'd like to know how to fix my formula? Thanks in advance!
The aloe she uses is a distilled version, which means the liquid is thin like water. Aloe vera gel has ingredients added to thicken it. You need to use a non-gel aloe vera for it to work as a spray with her recipe.
love it thank you!! i was so excited when i see the video's title because i really need a face mist.
You are so welcome! I'm always in need of face mist! 😄
Gothamista May I know which country do you live in?
Oh My God!! You look just sooo perfect !!!!
I love this recipe can't wait to try it! Can I ask if you recommend any type of Preservative to make this last longer as I am going away for a month and would love to take some that will stay fresh? 😊 Thanks for the amazing videos x
Can you use it on top of make up? I have very dry skin and after a couple of hours it starts to crack, and I use such a thin layer. It cracks because of the dryness, not because it's thick and cakie.
Thank you for an awazing channel! :)
I have oily skin and I made this. IT IS SOOOO MOISTURIZING. My skin feels super bouncy! I does not feel oily at all!! Can I use this as a toner?
Very Convincing for sure! I am making one for myself!!
D.I.Y face mist nice
I usually use this but i add a little bit more rose water
Hi, can I ask for how long is it safe to use it after I make it?
Thanks, I love your channel:)
I love this. I made mine the same with huxley oil and a couple of drops of green tea extract :)
Can I ask where you buy green tea extract drops from?
Hi! I just found your channel, great idea. I will now purchase ingredients to try this! I was wondering what’s the shelf life for this? Thanks!
Hi! Do you have a video about witch hazel, glycerine, rose water and green tea extract? If not, can you please make one? Thanks in advance! ❤ I love you videos 😍❤
i couldnt stop staring at your face. you're so beautiful
Hi! Can't wait to try this out ASAP. How long does this mist last and do you keep it refrigerated or at room temp?
I make my DIY face mist with rose water, but will try aloe vera juice next time :)
Good ideas except I don’t want to put oils in my face mist at all...my face tends to produce a lot of oil and the oil from my hair tends to transfer to my face....but I think I’ll definitely use the aloe juice and probably mix with fresh aloe......maybe only vitamin E
Super!!! Just stopped using witch hazel, and am a definite toner girl, very good resources, sweet video, Mahalo from Hawaii👣👣👣👣👣👣
i just saw this video can't wait to try my own mist i will let you kno what i do but i know for being oily skin im looking into using probably some tea tree vitamin E or jojoba or rosehip
wish me luck on my first try
Hello Renee,
Thanks for sharing this amazing simple-to-make recipe for sensitive skin. I love that’s it’s all natural ingredients.
I wanted to ask, when looking for facial mist at stores, we should be looking for waterless/aqualess and no alcohol products. Is that right? It’s just that a few of the face mists you have recommended in your face mist videos, and other popular face mists like the maria badescu rose water one seem to have water as their first ingredient.
d3222ee I think the important part is about how it feels. Something could have the first ingredient as water but if the second is strong enough and it doesn’t have that tight feeling on your face then it should be fine. I don’t think she would recommend something that dries her face although I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on something that has water as first ingredient personally..
Water isn't really the issue. In tons of store bought "toning mists" their main ingredient is water. Water is a place that bacteria loves to grow so most companies will include a preservative to prevent that from happening. Some of these preservatives are alcohols. Not all alcohols will dry everyone out as not all alcohols are the same. But in my experience as an esthetician, many people are less tolerant to certain alcohols and other preservatives than you'd think. As well as emulsifiers. So it's important to get (for example) 100% rose water with no added alcohols or preservatives. And you can always keep it in the fridge to make it last longer, it's even more refreshing too. And always good to use a facial oil or moisturizer on top to occlude the hydration you just gave your skin!
i might sound stupid but is it possible to make aloe vera juice by mixing water and aloe vera gel?
The tutorial starts at 1:50. You're welcome.
