Notes

  • To get 1/4 cup dried rose petals, you'll need to harvest about 1 1/2 cups fresh rose petals.
  • Use a coffee grinder for easy griding. You can use a mortar and pestle as well. 
  • To easily clean your coffee grinder between uses, grind some whole grain and grind for about 10 seconds.
  • It's easiest to work with honey that's slightly warmed up, you can do this by placing your bowl of honey in about an inch of water in a pan on the stove and simmer until honey is a soft liquid.
  • If you can't find rosehip seed oil, you can use any other good quality facial oil.
  • The face wash can be stored for about two months as long as no water gets into the jar. I recommend making in small batches so it's nice and fresh.
