Making Your own Skin Toner

by Shelly

toner1.jpgSkin Toner for Oily Skin:

What you will need:
2 tsp. of high-proof vodka
A clean, dry glass bottle large enough to hold at least 1/2 pt.
3 drops neroli essential oil
3 drops orange essential oil
3 drops petit grain essential oil
1 oz. witch hazel
8 oz. of orange-flower water

1. Pour the vodka into the glass bottle. Add the neroli essential oil, orange essential oil and petit grain essential oil and shake hard to dissolve the oils.

2. Add the witch hazel and shake again. Add the orange flower water and shale the bottle until all the ingredients have blended together well. The essential oils will not completely dissolve, so shake each time you go to use the toner.

Skin Toner for Dry and Sensitive Skin:

What you will need:

1 tsp. high-proof vodka
A clean, dry glass bottle large enough to hold at least 1/2 pt.
4 drops rose absolute essential oil
4 drops rose otto essential oil
2 tsp. of witch hazel
9 oz. rose-flower water

1. Pour the vodka into the glass bottle, add the rose absolute essential oil and the rose otto essential oil and shake the bottle hard to mix and dissolve the oils.

2. Add the witch hazel and shake vigorously, followed by the rose-flower water. Shake the bottle until all the ingredients have blended together pretty well. Be sure and shake the bottle before each use of the toner.

Use these toners on your face morning and nightly for a clearer more healthy looking skin. Making your own products is a great way to use all-natural ingredients and to know exactly what is in the facial care products you use daily.
