Benefits of DIY Setting Spray:
Aloe Vera Gel: A naturally healing ingredient, aloe has an abundance of benefits, especially when it comes to the skit. It helps reduce irritation, redness, dryness, and also helps with inflammation. When applied directly to the skin, aloe vera gel can heal a number of things including eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and severe breakouts.
Witch Hazel: A natural astringent, witch hazel is a powerful medicinal herb, that when used on the skin can help shrink pores and help with oily/acne prone skin. Also helps to reduce inflammation and soothe irritation and redness. Witch hazel can also help balance the skin’s pH and fix uneven skin tone.
Rose Water: Another natural astringent, rosewater is a gentle toner that gets rid of dirt, impurities, and balances the skin’s pH. It’s perfect for those with dry and/or sensitive skin as it’s not very harsh and will also help with inflammation.
Lavender Essential Oil: A natural anti-inflammatory ingredient, lavender oil helps to reduce redness in the skin as well as blotchiness. Also helps with oily and acne-prone skin by eliminating bacteria. Use lavender essential oil if you have dry skin. Read more
