DIY Face Toner
Natural homemade toner made with just a few simple ingredients to help clear and tighten skin without drying it out.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup witch hazel
- 1/2 cup water boiled down to 1/4 cup
- 1 tbs dried lavender optional
- 1 tsp vegetable glycerin
- 5-10 drops essential oils lavender, melaluca, frankincense, chamomile, or geranium would work well
Instructions
- Add water and dried lavender to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until it is reduced to about half and allow to cool a bit.
- In a glass container, add together witch hazel and glycerin.
- Strain lavender water and add to witch hazel mixture.
- Add a few drops essential oils.
Notes
- If you don't have witch hazel, you could swap it out for apple cider vinegar.
- Use dried lavender, chamomile flowers, or dried rose petals. Heck, you could even use a little of each.
- Use store-bought rose hydrosol or lavender hydrosol rather than making your own water infusion.
- Vegetable glycerin can help add moisture to the skin. If you don't have it, just skip it.
- Use distilled water to help slow bacteria growth. You can also boil water and allow it to cool. This will kill the bacteria in the tap water.
- This recipe will keep for about two weeks.
