  • Orange blossom water
  • Measuring cup with pour spout
  • Everlasting essential oil (Helichrysum essential oil)
  • Lavender essential oil
  • Dark glass bottle with tight fitting lid

  4. Step 4

    Pour the mixture into a dark glass bottle with a tight fitting lid. Shake your natural rose skin toner well before each use.
