Clarifying Tea Tree and Lemon Facial Mist

This clarifying tea tree and lemon facial mist is a refreshing and invigorating way to cleanse and tone your skin. The tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while the lemon essential oil is antibacterial and astringent. The witch hazel helps to remove excess oil and dirt, while the aloe vera juice soothes and moisturizes the skin. This mist is perfect for all skin types, but is especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.

I first came across this recipe when I was working as a beauty editor at a major magazine. A celebrity facialist had recommended it to me as a way to help clear up my acne-prone skin. I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a try. I was amazed at how well it worked! My skin was clearer and more balanced after just a few weeks of use. I've been using this mist ever since, and I've never found anything that works as well.
