Yarrow Acne Astringent

This is for oily skin or those with bad acne. If you have dry or sensitive skin I do not recommend using this on your face. This is to be used as a daily acne deterrent and always follow with a moisturizer. Store in a cool place (we recommend the fridge for extra cooling pleasure!)  in a glass or plastic bottle.

1 1/2 cup distilled water

1 1/2 table spoons yarrow

1 tablespoon chamomile flowers

1 teaspoon calendula

8 drops peppermint oil

In a small size saucepan bring your distilled just to the point before boil. Remove the water from the heat and add the herbs. Allow them to steep for 20 minutes, once that time has passed you then add the essential oils. Then you pour the concoction into a glass jar or plastic container and shake well.

This will only last for a week. But if you are using it twice a day generously applied then you should run out at the end of the week so as you are not tempted to use stale ingredients.

Apply generously with a non bleached (if possible) cotton pad around face and neck. May be used on shoulder and back areas as well. Place cucumber slices over your eyes as to not get the astringent in your eye.
