When the days are hot, nothing feels better than something cool and refreshing to put on your skin. Try this homemade face mister recipe below:

4 teaspoons green tea
1 ounce fresh peppermint leaves
1 cup lavender
2 cups of distilled water
2 teaspoons fresh aloe vera gel

Mix the green tea, peppermint leaves and lavender flowers together with water. Steep all ingredients for 15 minutes then strain through a cheesecloth.  After 15 minutes, add the aloe gel and pour into a glass jar with a spray nozzle. Spritz on skin during hot summer days.

This concoction is packed with antioxidants and will help protect your skin. It's best to store it in the refrigerator and spritz liberally on your face and neck throughout hot summer days to cool off.

*Note: Lavender can be found at most nurseries - use the flower on the lavender stem to make the mist
