How to Make Natural Facial Toner

Many facial toners rely on chemicals to help firm and tighten your skin. This can give your facial multiple results, and not all of them are good. For example, your skin may be smoother and younger looking, but it may come at the price of dry skin, high color or even reddish rashes or an outbreak of pimples. Instead, use this natural, summery facial toner to keep your pores clear and your skin smooth, young and clear, no matter your age.

How to Make Natural Face Toner

• 1

  Boil a cup of water in a mug. You can do this by microwaving the water on high for 2 minutes. If it reaches a rolling boil before 2 minutes are up, remove the cup from the microwave.

• 2

  Steep the chamomile tea for 20 minutes. This will create a strong brew. You can drink the leftovers if you wish. Chamomile is often recommended to relieve stress and tension. You may wish to establish a ritual of cleansing your face and your mind with the same herbal tea.

• 3

  Pour all of the ingredients into the plastic bottle. You do not have to mix them individually, just pour them all in. If you want your toner to smell more like lavender or peppermint, add extra drops of the essential oils.

• 4

  Shake up the plastic bottle. This will mix all of the ingredients together and create your own natural facial toner. Make sure that the bottle's lid closes tightly so that your toner does not evaporate before you can use it.

• 5

  Cool the toner to room temperature. This toner works best for refreshing your face during the day. Simply apply a small amount to a cotton ball, then swab your face gently with the damp cotton. Do not use the toner immediately after regular washing or your skin may dry out and require extra moisturizing.
