HOT Flash Relief Mist-DIY 💗

DIY Menopause Hot Flash Cooling Spray

When a hot flash hits, sometimes a little cooling ritual can make all the difference.

Keep this simple DIY spray within reach for it when you need a refreshing reset.

What you’ll need — 4 oz glass spray bottle

• Rose water or rose hydrosol

• Distilled water

• Aloe vera

• Vegetable glycerin

• Optional: 1 Tbsp witch hazel

• A small amount of peppermint or geranium essential oil

🧴 How to make it

Add the rose water, distilled water, aloe, and glycerin to your clean bottle. If using witch hazel, mix your essential oils into the witch hazel first, then add to the bottle.

❄️ Keep it chilled

Store in the refrigerator for a refreshing cooling mist.

🌿 During a hot flash

Mist your face, back of your neck, and wrists for a cooling sensation.

A few gentle reminders:

Choose true rose hydrosol or appropriately diluted essential oils rather than fragrance oils. Essential oils can irritate sensitive skin, so patch test first and avoid the eyes. If peppermint feels too intense, you can simply leave it out—cooling rose water alone can be a lovely option.

✨ Menopause support can be simple: pause, breathe, cool, reset.

Save this for your next hot-flash self-care moment. 💗

How to Make

1. Prep: Use a clean 4 oz glass spray bottle.

2. Mix: Add rose water, distilled water, aloe, and glycerin first.

3. Add Oils: Add your essential oils. If you use witch hazel (1 tbsp), add the oils to it first; it helps them mix better with the water.

4. Chill: Store this in the fridge. Cold rose water is far more effective at stopping a hot flash in its tracks. 

   
   

Pro Tips for Menopause Support

• Mist or use roller bottle on the "Pulse Points": During a flash, spray your face, but also the back of your neck and inside of your wrists for faster cooling.

• Avoid Fragrance Oils: Ensure you are using real rose hydrosol or essential oil, not "rose-scented" perfume oils, which can irritate sensitive menopausal skin.

• Hormone Harmony: If you find peppermint too "tingly," swap it for Geranium oil, which is also great for balancing skin oil levels during perimenopause.
