When beauty products are simply too expensive, take matters into your own hands…literally.

Last week, Meow Meow Tweet’s co-founder Tara Pelletier schooled me on the benefits of botanical waters. Pro: they can be found in a lot of your skin care products. Con: they’re usually watered down, which means you’re barely experiencing the health benefits.

For instance: there are countless setting sprays at your local cosmetics store, but how long does it take to actually find one for your specific needs? If the answer to that question is, “you don’t even want to know,” we have amazing news.

You can make one that also doubles as a face toner for post-cleansing; it’s a “two for one” deal!

“Botanical waters (hydrosols) are an essential part of a daily skin care regime because they provide hydration directly to the pores, which helps the skin cells function properly mainly to cleanse and regenerate themselves,” says Pelletier. “The vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients in hydrosols can balance pH in the skin, which is important for healthy balanced skin and oil production. Finally, they can help cleanse and relieve clogged pores and shrink enlarged pores.”
