This Vanilla and green tea face mist is very easy to make, smells wonderful and together with vanilla pods, it makes a wonderful skin treatment. When we went on a holiday to Thekkady, I got organic vanilla pods. I really fell in love with it. The shop keeper showed me both organic and ordinary ones and there is lot of difference between both!
The smell was sharp and truly incredible in the organic ones. A few weeks back, I read about hydrating the skin with face mist and I truly loved the idea. Because on a hot summer day, the only thing I want to do is wash my face the whole time. Water keeps our skin hydrated and moisturizers simply trap the moisture in the hydrated skin.
This vanilla & green tea face mist is very refreshing. It does a wonderful job of hydrating the skin. I had these cute little glass spray bottles, which I poured it into. These spray bottles are really useful, as you can carry it anywhere in your hand bag. To use the face mist, just spray it on your face, whenever you feel like it, to keep your skin hydrated.
Make sure to keep in the refrigerator for some time, before using it. Green tea has lots of anti oxidants and helps to keep the skin flawless. Pure vanilla tightens the pores and fights against imperfections, so try it out and let me know!
