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

[@nicolek2034]

​@@mushy470you can refrigerate it and have to sterilize eth u use in making this

[@chelseabunker2391]

When I showed horses, we would body clip (shave) them in the winter (don’t worry they had blankets & lived in the barn) and we would mist them with rose water after clipping them to help hydrate/soothe their skin. ❤ It smells good & feels amazing.

[@jenniferd264]

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

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

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

Can you advise how long you can store this?

Followed the breadcrumbs from your most recent glycerin short, and this is the DIY to end them all. I'm very excited to try this.

[@nullusanxietas2379]

Thanks for saving me a metric ton if toner! Love your work Dr Idriss. ❤

[@sisdamarismathews]

Cortas rose water is the absolute BEST and REAL rose hydrosol!

[@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!!

[@jackiek4159]

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

[@claudinebilleter616]

Love this woman and her tips ❤

[@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 !

[@bive4167]

Will definitely try this

[@famshars2389]

How long does this last at room temperature?

[@Louiseandtheart]

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

[@hra2290]

I would put it on underneath the sunscreen as sunscreen (especially mineral) sits on top of the skin creating a physical barrier which might prevent this from getting absorbed, maybe treat it like a toner or essence in the skin care routine

[@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?

[@jennifergenta2383]

I live in AZ Where its been over 112 How often do you use this ?

[@aleynataiz]

I also have been putting that cortas rose water in my humidifier/diffuser, and not only does it make your home smell wonderful, but it's relaxing and helps hydrate your skin when you are by it.

[@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 ❤

[@simplypawly4500]

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

[@Elvenboadicea]

It's anti inflammatory

[@nuninuninu5095]

Using the frother is genius. Mixes better

[@georgerorris5440]

That’s amazing, thank you. I also added some highlighter and it’s great !

[@AsmaM1984]

She has very perfect skin. How lucky she is.

[@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.

[@fabshelleyg]

Most excellent Doc. I am going to make this.

[@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 .

[@cloud_9429]

I just purchased everything on this video and I’m excited to try them!

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

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.

How long can i store this mixture please?

[@felipelebron7660]

Ok… i found the same bottle of rose water as you… so i did a batch using the whole rose water bottle which is 17 oz. So… 17 oz Rose Water + 17 oz distilled water + 10 oz of glycerin. The problem is… you said on another video… theres not enough preservatives in this 44 oz solution… so it’s going to waste😢. Plus… i find this ratio of Glycerin in water too “glyceriny”😅

[@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

Is just using rose water on a cotton to dap your face with at the end of the day after cleansing effective or useless?

[@marcosusanne1816]

Dr Idriss told in a short before that you shouldn’t wash your face twice a day, so I use rose water in the morning because after a busy day outside you really should clean your face thoroughly. Rose water is soft enough to use so close to your eyes and of course you could use it at the end of the day but not as only a cleanser, just instead of tonic.

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:)
