I’ve found a way to beat the heat and get added skin benefits at the same time! Fresh flowers and herbs from my garden infused into Witch Hazel is my new favorite thing. I store it in the fridge and mist myself throughout the day! It’s so refreshing and smells wonderful!
Directions: 
Fill your jar full of herbs and flowers that are safe to use on skin! I used basil, rosemary, sage, chamomile, calendula, echinacea, tulsi and yarrow. Each contains numerous beneficial properties for your skin (I’ll touch more on those in a picture post coming soon). The jar should be full but not packed too tightly. Pour the witch Hazel over the herbs. Make sure to fully cover all plant material. Once you make the infusion you will want to store it in your fridge for two weeks. After two weeks you can strain out the herbs and place the remaining liquid into a misting bottle. Keep the infusion in your fridge for up to a month! 
I get my Witch Hazel from Mountain Rose Herbs. You will want to get either an alcohol free solution or a distilled solution with a roughly 14% (or less) alcohol content! This should be easily found at most drugstores/markets as well! Want to use dried herbs? You sure can! Some other herbs you might consider infusing are lavender, rose, lemon balm, lemongrass, and forsythia! Make sure to research each herb. Also, as a precaution don’t use the infusion on broken skin!
