Yarrow Face Tonic
The production of a skin tonic is very simple;
all one needs is water, yarrow, glycerine and (optionally)
panthenol. First, all the containers and
stirrers must be disinfected with a high alcoholbased
disinfectant. To start the process, make
a strong tea from 3 teaspoons of dried yarrow and
120 ml (half a cup) of mineral or distilled water.
After the tea cools down, filter it, and – with the
remaining 92 ml (one-third cup) of prepared tea
– add 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of glycerol and 3 ml (half
a teaspoon) of panthenol (you can also add 10
drops of yarrow essential oil). For a cleansing
tonic, then add 2 ml (half a teaspoon) of soap
base instead of the tea content. This tonic is suitable
for problematic or oily skin. When stored in
the refrigerator it doesn’t need any preservatives.
