Note
Storage: Store any leftover rinse in a sealed glass bottle in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Discard if it develops an off odor.
Substitutions: You can use 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary and 1/4 cup of fresh chamomile flowers instead of dried herbs for a stronger scent, though the infusion may need slightly longer steeping time.
Safety: Perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying to your face to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction to either herb.
Tip: For an extra soothing effect, allow the rinse to cool completely in the fridge before application, which can help reduce puffiness.
