Sheer Glow Rosy Face Tint
 |
| Inspired by Chantecaille Sheer Glow Rose Face Tint |
I recently found myself in a bit of a beauty crisis. I was almost out of my beloved Chantecaille Sheer Glow Rose Face Tint. It is a very magical cream that gives my complexion a luminous, healthy-looking glow. I mean, who doesn’t want to look like they’ve just returned from a rejuvenating spa day? I was so sad that my little jar was nearing its end.
So, in the spirit of DIY and a little bit of desperation, I decided to create my own version—a dupe, if you will. Spoiler alert: it was a success, and I am so happy to share my formula with you.
For my formula, I chose pure rose hydrosol I purchased from Mountian Rose Herbs as the base. It’s a lot fancier than plain distilled water and it smells divine! If you’re aiming for a more budget-friendly option, don’t fret—you can totally use distilled water like the original version does. But let’s be honest, who can resist a little rose magic?
Next up, I decided to lightly scent my creation. I added just two drops of pure Bulgarian rose essential oil for that luxurious aroma. Ahh, the fragrance! If you’re looking for a more wallet-friendly option, you can swap in geranium essential oil-or leave out the essential oil all together.
Now, let’s talk about preservation because nobody wants their DIY beauty product to go bad, right? I used 1% phenoxyethanol-sa to ensure my cream stays fresh. According to the Environmental Working Group, it’s rated a level 2, which is pretty good in the world of preservatives. Remember, since my formula contains water, preservation is key!
If you don’t want to use a preservative, you can pop your cream in the refrigerator. This not only helps with preservation but gives your skin a refreshing coolness when you apply it. Just make sure to use it within a few weeks.
After mixing all my ingredients, I was thrilled with how my DIY Sheer Glow Rose Face Tint turned out. The texture is creamy, the scent is heavenly, and the glow? It’s everything I love about the Chantecaille version, but with the added satisfaction of having created it myself.
So, the next time you find yourself on the brink of a beauty emergency, don’t panic! Grab your ingredients and channel your inner DIY spirit. You might just discover a new favorite that’s not only fun to make but also kind to your wallet. Happy crafting, fresh-picked beauties!
