How to Make Infusions for Beauty Products From Your Garden Plants
Lavender Face Astringent
This is a little different type of astringent that uses vinegar as your infusion base. You can use fresh or dried lavender blossoms.
In a large glass jar, mix 2 cups of fresh lavender flowers or 1 cup of dried lavender flowers with 2 cups of white vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar.
Shake well, then place in a sunny window or outside in the sun for the next 7 days. Shake once per day. Then strain out the lavender flowers and store in another glass container. To use, simply wash your fact, then moisten cotton balls or squared with the astringent and apply directly to the face.
Rose Scented Massage Oil
Make a rose petal massage oil by choosing your oil infusion method ( hot or cold) and placing 1.5 cups of fresh rose petals (different colors are OK) in one cup of sweet almond oil. After the infusion is finished, strain out the flower petals. This will make 8 ounces of nicely scented (but not too strong) massage oil.
