Rosewater can also be sprayed over makeup to work as a makeup setting product, the mist will leave your face radiant Fill an empty spray bottle with rosewater and spritz once you're done with your morning beauty routine to keep your face fresh and hydrated. ROSEWATER MAKE-UP SETTING SPRAY

Per 2 ounces of Rose water:

1 TBSP Witch Hazel 1 TBSP Vegetable Glycerin (Optional- adds extra moisturizing and locks it in.
