Rose Petals from 2 roses. Cover with just enough water to cover petals. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower temperature to simmer while covered and stir occasionally. Remove from heat when petals lose their color. Cool and store in refrigerator. Use on face to reduce pores and tighten skin. This recipe is perfect in a spray or spritz bottle with a fine mist.

The best substitute would be mango butter. Cocoa butter or coconut oil would also work, but I don’t generally recommend using either on your face because they can cause breakouts in those with acne prone skin.
