Hey Lykkers! So, quick question—how often do you turn to your kitchen for skincare? You’d be surprised at how many simple ingredients we overlook every day that are actually amazing for our skin. One of my personal favorites?

Hibiscus! But today, I’m not just sticking with plain hibiscus—I’m spicing things up with a couple of new friends from nature that make these remedies even better. Let’s talk about two awesome ways to use hibiscus: as a tea to drink and a toner to spray, both blended with fresh, natural ingredients for extra glow power.

Hibiscus & Mint Tea: For That Inner Radiance

We’re starting with something delicious and detoxifying. This isn’t your average herbal tea—this version is cooling, refreshing, and packed with skin-loving nutrients. Hibiscus brings antioxidants and vitamin C, while mint helps with digestion and adds a refreshing twist.

Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon dried hibiscus petals or 1 hibiscus tea bag

- 5–6 fresh mint leaves

- 1 cup boiling water

- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

- A slice of fresh lemon (optional)

How to Make?:

1. Add hibiscus petals and mint leaves to a cup.

2. Pour boiling water over them and cover.

3. Let steep for 5–7 minutes.

4. Strain and stir in honey or a lemon slice if you like.

5. Drink warm or chill it with ice for a refreshing cold version.

Why Your Skin Will Love It?:

Hibiscus helps your body flush out toxins, supports collagen production, and mint calms the digestive system, which can directly improve your skin’s clarity. Basically, it’s a glass full of inner beauty magic.

Hibiscus & Cucumber Toner: Your Skin’s Best Friend

Now for the outside glow. This DIY toner is perfect for calming, hydrating, and toning your skin—especially if you’ve been out in the sun or dealing with breakouts. Cucumber cools and soothes, while aloe vera hydrates and heals.

Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon dried hibiscus petals

- ½ cup sliced cucumber

- 1 tablespoon fresh aloe vera gel (or store-bought, pure)

- 1 cup water

- Spray bottle for storage

How to Make?:

1. Boil the water and pour it over the hibiscus petals. Let steep for 10 minutes.

2. Blend cucumber slices with aloe vera gel until smooth.

3. Strain the hibiscus water and let it cool.

4. Mix it with the cucumber-aloe blend, then strain again to remove pulp.

5. Pour into a spray bottle and refrigerate. Use within 5–7 days.

How to Use?:

Spritz it on after cleansing or use it with a cotton pad. Use it in the morning to wake up your skin or at night to refresh and soothe.

Why It Works?:

This combo hydrates deeply, reduces inflammation, tightens pores, and helps even out your skin tone. It's gentle, effective, and completely natural.
