1 tablespoon camphor spirit
2 drops blue coloring

Mix together in a large bottle 1/2 cup rose water, 1/2 cup witch-hazel, 1/2 cup distilled water, 1 tablespoon camphor spirit and 2 drops blue coloring.

To make the astringent stronger, add a pinch of alum. Strain and use to tighten and tone the skin.
