DIY Glycerin Face Mist

[@basmahendy5431]

A tip for you guys you spray this on your face after doing makeup and it makes it stay for longer also prevents it from getting caky

[@kritikatyagi_1997]

Wow u are the only derma who gives diy ideas. All other dermatologist are against all diy

[@jenniferd264]

Check out “Lab Muffin Beauty Science” She’s a Dr, a PhD Chemist who will occasionally give us DIY tips too!

[@anniesmolkin7685]

When you think about it, avene mist is just spring water, she mentioned. Ap she gives us a way to add glycerin for better hydration . She said it's great when you are in a plane

[@mushy470]

Because you can't preserve this. This mist is okay for a day or two but you will have to make it fresh again and again

[@dahomey2001]

well this one is not hurtful or damaging at long terms These are not food masks (turmeric, avocado, oat, coffe, etc) or diy moisturizers with hella essential oils

[@Anayamila]

I love that this is affordable and perfect for excema prone skin!!! You are doing it right!

[@jenacy]

I use a homemade primer with Glycerin and Aloe vera. Best primer ever and my make up stays set for the day. Pumps my skin up a bit too. Just two tablespoons of organic vegetable aloe vera gel and half a teaspoon of the glycerin. Mix / shake well. Leave in fridge and it will last a long time.

[@jenacy]

Oh, I have mature, oily in the T- zone area skin. I find this primer keeps my skin hydrated and stops too much oil coming through in my oily areas.

[@afghanieshq5797]

You can add some vitamin E to act as a preservative and for added benefits to the skin !

[@cloud_9429]

I just purchased everything on this video and I’m excited to try them! My face gets dry when I’m outdoors during fall/winter and I usually just buy an already made mist, but it’s so hard to find that perfect one for my skin and when I saw the ingredients here, I just knew this is what I needed, thank you so much!

[@amandakolh2166]

How did it end up working for you?

[@jenniferd264]

Dollar Tree has those misters 😊 $1.25! I’m totally making this for mine! Thanks Doc

[@sjjoker4724]

Oooooh I have to take a look see at DT next time I’m there

[@everykindnessandblessinghq]

Really??? I was going to order one from Amazon, but I'm totally checking DT now! Thank you so much! 😊💋

[@carolinamarin52]

Thank you Dr. Shereene Idriss, I love your videos! Do you do this in the middle of the day or in which part of your skincare routine?

[@prettylucky675]

Mist can be used anytime when you feel your skin feels dry

[@ashroberts637]

You’d probably use it as a first step after cleansing (followed by serums, moisturiser, sunscreen etc). If you’re dry make sure to lock it in with a moisturiser though!!

[@RyleeHall-qj3lf]

Looked this video up and made this mist before I went into the office this morning! It had been amazing! I didn’t have rose water, but will be ordering soon ❤

[@jackiek4159]

Definitely want to give this a go! Thank you Dr Idriss! 💕✨

[@LunaPaloma77]

Glad to know you approve of this, I've been making this mixture for years, affordable and effective.

[@Lincorn1]

i have no clue where to get distilled water... any tips?

[@arianeorr4148]

At the pharmacy sometimes at grocery store. Just ask a clerk​@@Lincorn1

[@amandakolh2166]

​@Lincorn1 you can usually get a gallon of it at a grocery store. Think milk jug but water.

[@denisedelgiudice3378]

My great grandmother was from Italy and she always washed her face in water with rose petals. I heard her skin was always beautiful.

[@marieve5394]

Thank you for this tips! 👍

[@primordialmeow7249]

Most excellent Doc. I am going to make this.

[@Louise.L.]

So cool! :D And stupid question...... it does not wash away the sunscreen right? probaaably not hehe?

[@magnolia31611]

I wish I could do this, but I’m very allergic to rose😩 I found out one day when I used a rose water spray that a friend of mine made for me. My skin got bright tomato red, and my tongue started to swell up. I didn’t put two and two together, until I drank some tea one day that had rose hip in it. I bet this smells beautiful though!

[@alebolan483]

You can omit the rose water and still will be hydrating

[@gorgoritos242]

Use double ammount of distilled water and forget about rose water 😊

[@geekerella7296]

Use lavender water or just plain water.

[@TaLeng2023]

How about orange blossom or jasmine water?

[@bet5275]

She has another video with aloe water instead of rose water

[@stellamarisbeautyofficial8934]

I’ve been doing this without rose water for a while. So moisturizing and refreshing since I live in the desert 🌵

[@hanedamijares5940]

Hi! How long do you keep your spray for? Do you change it everyday?

[@PaulHo]

Would love to see a comparison if rose water vs rice water.

[@cristinaandra3671]

Thx for sharing!! I love your channel and so glad I stumbled onto it :)

[@lemonz1769]

Glycerin is the best hydrating ingredient. I don’t mind others but it’s the best

[@famshars2389]

How long does this last at room temperature?

I'm Lebanese too!! I'm very familiar with rose water from making baklava n other pastries.. but now I gotta get more for this awesome hack!! I love them mist things!! I got 3 of them.. I just put water in them n spray b4 n after I use a moisturizer with ha in it.. but now this vid gave me a new mission 😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@zuleymagonzalez7086]

Do you use regular tap water? Bottled water? Or does it have to be distilled water?

[@marieJennell]

@@zuleymagonzalez7086 both..

[@judyperri9496]

Oh baklava 😩I haven’t made that in so long I’m afraid I’ll eat the whole thing🤣🤣🤣

[@ehudac7964]

@pillowtalkderm is rose water safe for super sensitive skin w/ rosacea? If not, what would be a good sub?

[@klarab122]

No se porque la amo doctora ❤😍

[@Rya_B]

🇱🇧 love this idea! I’m going to try it

[@CCBeal-qw9zz]

My grandmother from Ukraine used rose water and glycerin. Her skin was beautiful into her 90s.

[@simplypawly4500]

Genuine question- why the rose water? Is it just for the smell or is there some hydrating properties too? 😊

[@batkat4444]

Will this harbor bacteria though? How long is it good for?

[@kittyking5375]

I will do this. Thank you❤

[@ceruleanswim]

Fabulous 😍 what is the shelf life? Should we keep in the fridge? Thanks! 🙏

[@janetbracco2867]

Thank you for posting this! Where do i buy rosewater from??

[@ybs161]

Hey! I love this idea and I’m going to try it. I had a question about using a mist like this that has only humectants in it during the day- is the fact that I wouldn’t be applying a moisturizer or anything on top to lock it in going to actually dehydrate my skin (because of what I understand about how humectants pull the water)? Thanks so much!

[@mamijojo6446]

Link for mist in Amazon pls

[@mihaeladog7187]

Awesome 🎉

[@villanelle5279]

Wait! In regards to glycerine, in general, you shouldn’t use it without diluting?? I slather it on my face every night over my other skincare. 😩 Please tell that is a good thing to do. Also, I’m totally going to do this spray mist concoction! I love your advice.

[@msharic85]

Ahhh!!! I just bought that same water! I've been using it straight up tho patting it on my skin after washing my face, but before moisturizing. Is that ok? So far, so good!

[@TaLeng2023]

Can you teach us how to use those bottled salicylic acid from pharmacies?

[@Ineedanamelol]

The police sirens in the back sent me 😂😂

[@rubaa.3297]

Cortas for the rescue!

[@ppppppxxxxxxx]

But if you dont put a moisturizer afterwards to lock it in, wouldn't that make your skin lose water more and get more dehydrated?

[@jessicaf8917]

That’s what the glycerin is for.

[@PiXie232]

@@jessicaf8917you took the words right out of my mouth lol

[@Mhkkvvyl]

I apply this glycerin spray all over my face after moisturizer.

[@TaLeng2023]

​@@Mhkkvvyldo I put the glycerin before or after moisturizer?

I abso get contact derm w anything Rose. Any other suggestions? Rose is potent. Nourishing for some; caustic for others.

[@magnolia31611]

Yes, I’m very allergic to anything rose, unfortunately 😕

[@sairaali6424]

How long can we keep the mixture?

[@LunaPaloma77]

I've kept mine for months without issues.

[@rhileynnna]

She recommends no longer than a day due to no preservatives. I think you could get away with a few days but I wouldn’t keep it longer than a week

[@Lincorn1]

a day... ?@@rhileynnna

[@vzla7]

I guess if you keep the water in the refrigerator, it will take 2 weeks or more. Love to spray the mixed water after I wash my face AM and PM and when don't have rose water I use jazmine water .

[@rachela1728]

Ma’am will your skincare products ship to Canada🥺

[@jessicaf8917]

Thank you! I wanted to do this, but I was going to use regular bottled water. I guess distilled water is better?

[@me0538]

Distilled water so that it doesn’t grow mold in the mister! The sugars in the glycerin would mold with non-distilled water

[@moki1999]

Yes the distilled water helps preserve but it will absolutely still grow mold quickly. As long as u don't use it for more than a couple of days you're probably fine

[@moxylady007]

What if I refrigerate it

[@jessicaf8917]

@@moxylady007 That would probably feel really good!

[@AnnieNugget]

​@@moxylady007You should probably make a new batch every other day. Or maybe even make this as a mask for the weekends.

[@rosemarybyler3995]

Thank you for sharing with us at the end 😂

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

Thank you. But can I use orange blossom water instead of rose water? I don't so much need the anti-inflammation, just the hydration, and I'm not keen on the scent of rose on my face.

Can we just use rose water instead of adding distilled water?

[@trotmanjennifer5209]

Yep

[@NinetiesBB]

My first real skincare product besides kids 3-in-1 wash and soap and random kids body lotion was the Burt’s bees rose water and glycerin toner (discontinued), this makes me think it would have actually done something if I had known to also use a moisturizer to lock it in 😂 I pity 11-year-old me

Would aloe vera juice be an ok substitute for the rose water? I have allergies and can't tolerate the scent. 😢

[@rhileynnna]

That sounds like a good idea! As long as you water it down I’m sure it’s be fine. You could use regular water , you don’t need the rose water.

[@bet5275]

Yes, she has another video with aloe vera juice instead of rose water.

[@galacticgem8]

Is this good for facial eczema?

[@sarahbalcerak6754]

Is this good for very dry skin with rosacea? When is the best time to use it (where in your skin care routine)?

[@PiXie232]

Yes:) it’s excellent for dry skin with rosacea. I have extremely dry skin and rosacea and use this every day multiple times throughout the day and it helps immensely! Just spray it whenever you feel like it. I keep one in my bathroom, one on my nightstand, one in my purse, kitchen etc. so I have them available wherever I am. I’ve noticed a big difference in how hydrated my skin is staying throughout the day since implementing this into my daily routine. I also use this when applying my skincare- I’ll spray it on during the toner/essence stage and in between each serum I put on. It’s made a massive difference:)

[@anumsikander8256]

Hi can i use it before going out in sun because i heard that glycerin can make your skin dark if you apply it before going in sunlight. Kindly reply.

[@MrVevlet]

PSA for people that can’t do rose water. There are other floral waters like chamomile and lavender. As well as citrus & herbal waters like grapefruit & peppermint. I assume you can substitute rose water for any other floral water that’s advertised as safe for your face. I would do a test patch tho to make sure your skin can handle it tho before spritzing your face. And stick to the ratios listed in Shereene’s recipe with mixing the floral and distilled water with glycerin. Also note if you’re allergic to something when you eat it ie mint don’t use peppermint water because your skin will have an allergic reaction when it’s applied topically. Disclaimer- I’m not a dermatologist/ medical professional. Please do your own research.

[@SuperPeppi]

I'm allergic to chocolate (I can't eat it), but my skin ADORES cocoa butter. My skin and hair absolutely HATE coconut oil (it breaks my hair off, it makes me lose my hair in chunks, and it inflames my skin), but I can eat it without any issues. These are only two examples, but I have a lot of food allergies and a few contact allergies, and the two examples above are true for almost all of them! Please stop spreading disinformation.

She said 100% glycerin is bad, not that glycerin itself is bad. That's why she uses 25% in the mixture, where 75% is the distilled water plus rose water.
