Make your own organic refreshing facial wipes

Soothing marshmallow root






Things you will need:

2 cups distilled water

3 tablespoons marshmallow root

1 teaspoon witch hazel

4 drops chamomile essential oil

1 sheet of organic paper towel, cut into 1/4 pieces

Medium saucepan

Tea sieve or a piece of cheesecloth for straining.



Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan, add 3 tablespoons of the marshmallow root and allow to steep (about 15 minutes) turning heat off.  When the marshmallow tea is completely cooled, strain through a sieve or piece of cheesecloth and pour into a spritzer bottle.  Add the witch hazel and essential oils and gently shake to combine.  Spritz organic cotton paper towels and dose until nicely saturated with cleansing liquid.  Wipe your face and cleanse and tone, naturally!  Cleanser solution will keep about one week and you can store in the refrigerator for a soothing effect for summertime use.
