------------------------------------------------------------
There are many "facial fresheners" on the market you spritz
on to hydrate, moisturize, and freshen the face during the
day, when it's hot, on an airplane, in an office where the
temperatures are controlled and the air is usually dry, etc.
While the effects of these are temporary and are used to give
you a "quick pick me up", you can make your own spritzer for
your face. Here are a few ideas...
Use plain water or rose water (available at any drug store).
Put it in a spray bottle with a few drops of lavender oil or
any other essential oil you might like. Leave it in the
refrigerator and use it when you need a cooling "mist". If
your skin is oily, you can mix lemon juice with water, (just
a few drops to a few ounces of water), spray on, and dab off
with a cotton ball. Watch the eyes people, you don't want
to be spraying any of this in the eyes...
If you're one who drinks cranberry juice religiously to prevent
urinary tract infections, you'll get more protection if you drink
a glass right before bedtime. By having the cranberry juice in
your bladder all night, the properties work longer and better to
keep the bacteria that causes urinary tract infections at bay...
