Tone Up Tea
This is a great help for any skin type, adding the lemon for oilier skin. The herbs of green tea and chamomile serve to soothe the skin and the rose hydrosol does the same while also adding a delicate fragrance. Aloe and apple cider vinegar balance to serve smoothing and astringent purposes.
