Five Easy Homemade Astringent Lotion

1. Lemon-Witch Hazel Astringent: This astringent works wonders for oily skin types.

You just need to mix lemon juice (1/4 cup) with witch hazel (1/2 cup) and apply the

mixture to you face and neck with a cotton ball.
2. Rose Astringent:

You would require some rose fresh petals and distilled water to prepare this astringent at home.

Make sure that the petals are free from any kind of pesticide and you can definitely depend

upon your own little garden to supply you the best quality of roses. Heat water till it starts

boiling and pour it slowly over the rose petals placed in a bowl. Keep it for around thirty

minutes and filter the petals in such a way that the rose water comes out.

Pour the solution in a bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
3. Lemon-Orange Astringent:

You would need thinly sliced pieces of half-a-lemon and half-an-orange along with ethanol alcohol

(3/4 cup). All the ingredients need to be combined in a blender and mixed until the fruits are

thoroughly crushed. The liquid should be strained and applied to your face.

The mixture is very effective in tightening pores, refreshing the skin and removing excess oils.

It can be stored for up to six months in a refrigerator.
4. Chamomile-Mint Astringent:

This astringent is particularly nice for oily skin; to make it,

two tablespoons of dried mint, two tablespoons of dried chamomile

flowers and four cups of water are required. All the constituents should

be combined in a saucepan and allowed to boil for ten minutes.

Wait for five minutes and then, the liquid has to be strained.

You can store it in a refrigerator for about two weeks.

5. Sandalwood Astringent:

You would want eight tablespoons of sandalwood oil,

two teaspoons of almond oil, one tablespoon of honey,

four tablespoons of rosewater, four tablespoons of orange

flower extract and five grams of sodium bicarbonate

(commonly known as baking soda). All these components have to be

mixed and the mixture can also be stored in the fridge.

Apply it on your face with a cotton wool.
