    Here's one for the guys. Let me know if you try it and like it, or what herbs you used.

    1 part chopped fragrant herb (sage, rosemary, mint, eucalyptus, or thyme are some of the ones suggested - I was thinking maybe lemon balm or lemon verbena, or even a touch of cinnamon or patchouli? depends on your sense of smell and personal taste)
    1 part cider vinegar or half cider vinegar and half witch hazel.

    Combine in a lidded jar, which should be no more than half full. Leave in a warm place and shake it well each day for 2 weeks. Strain and add a teaspoon of almond oil or glycerine for moisturizer if desired.
