So I must try it out!  Well it is again very frugal, a small 100ml bottle costs less than $4 ...and most concoctions use about a tablespoon ...so it is very economical. Just yesterday I found one with rosewater added ...ohhh nice.  I can't wait to try out some skin care products.  The first one I'm going to try out is a moisturizer made from, glycerin, witch hazel and vitamin E oil. 

I'll update soon!
