Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Fresh rose petals
• Mixing bowl
• Glass jar
• Distilled water
• Vitamin E capsules
• Honey
• Coconut Oil
• Olive Oil

1. Rinse rose petals in water if they are purchase from a florist or store. This removes all pesticides. If the roses are from your personal garden, you may skip this step. Pesticides are terrible for skin care.

3. Cover the glass bowl with a plate or pot lid. Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes.
4. Pour the mixture into a glass jar through a strainer to collect the petals. Refrigerate the unused rosewater. The rose petals can be thrown away.
5. Break two vitamin E capsules and squeeze into a mixing bowl. Mix with one tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. honey, 1 tbsp. coconut oil and 1 tbsp. rosewater. Stir with a spoon until well-mixed. Pour into a capped bottle or container with a lid.
6. Apply to your face with fingertips or cotton balls. Refrigerate the moisturizer between uses.
