Make-at-home Herbal Astringent

Astringents are used to remove excess oil from the skin. This is how you can make it at home. Take 6 parts of lemon balm, 4 parts of chamomile, 1 part of rosemary, 4 parts of rose, 1 part of lemon peel, 1 part of sage and vinegar to cover, and essential oil of lavender or rose(optional). Place all herbs in a wide-mouthed jar. Add enough vinegar to come about an inch or tow above the herb mixture. Cover tightly and let it sit in a warm spot for 2-3 weeks. Strain. Reserve the liquid. To the herbal vinegar, add 1/2-1 cup of rose water. Add a drop or two of essential oil, if desired. Rebottle. This product does not need refrigeration and will stay preserved indefinitely.
