Homemade Facial Toners


Homemade Facial Toners


Facial toners are said to offer multiple benefits when it comes to improving the way your skin looks. However, good conventional facial toners often come with a hefty price tag. Homemade facial toners, on the other hand, can be an affordable and easy eco friendly option anyone can try. Take a look at some simple facial toner recipes and choose the best one
 for your skin type.
Cucumber facial toner. Blend two small cucumbers with half a cup of natural apple juice in the food processor. Apply the mixture on the face leaving it for 15 minutes, then rinse using lukewarm water. For a more refreshing and nourishing sensation you can also try mixing a small cucumber with 1 tablespoon milk and 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint until they get smooth. It is recommended that you use it immediately, yet keeping the mixture in a cool dark place can expand its lifespan.

Rosewater toner. You will need about 2 cups of fresh rose petals, 2 cups of distilled water, a few drops of glycerin and approximately half a cup of witch hazel. Put the rose petals and the distilled water in a small saucepan and let the mixture simmer on low heat.
Let the mixture cool down, then put it in a glass container and add the rest of the ingredients. Adding more glycerin can be a good idea for dry skin, while a little witch hazel might be beneficial for those who have an oily skin due to its astringent qualities.

Lavender toner with grapefruit seed extract. This facial toner works well for normal and combination skin types. Mix one cup of lavender water with three tablespoons of vegetable glycerin and half a tablespoon of grapefruit seed oil in a jar and refrigerate the mixture after each use.

Lemon toner for oily skin. This recipe combines the astringent qualities of witch hazel with the gentle exfoliating properties of lemon juice for a smooth, matte skin. Mix 1/2 cup of witch hazel and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Testing the mixture on a less visible area first might be recommendable to avoid potential irritations. Diluting the mixture with sparkling water is also a good idea if you find the mixture particularly strong.

This should be prepared at night before going to bed. 1. Use 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts raw honey. 1/2 tsp cinnamon to 1 tsp honey is recommended but can use more or less as long as in the ratio of 1 to 2. --- so 1 tsp cinnamon to 2 tsp raw honey is ok too as an example. 2. Boil 1 cup...that is 8 oz of water. 3. Pour water over cinnamon and cover and let it steep for 1/2 hour..(30 minutes) 4. Add honey now that it has cooled. Never add honey when it is hot as the heat will destroy the enzymes and other nutrients in the raw honey. 5. Drink 1/2 of this directly before going to bed. The other 1/2 should be covered and refrigerated. 6. In the morning drink the other half that you refirgerated...but do not re-heat it...drink it cold or at room temp only. Do not add anything else to this recipe. No lemon, no lime, no vinegar. It is not necessary to drink it more time in a day...it is only effective on an empty stomach and primarily at night. This works for most people
