Incorporating a toner into your skincare routine is essential for achieving a fresh and vibrant complexion. Typically, this product serves as the middle step after cleansing. It’s best to apply your toner while your skin is still damp; you can either spray it directly onto your face or use a cotton round for application. Following this, it’s crucial to lock in the hydration with your favorite moisturizer or facial oil. Our Purely Calm Gel Toner has earned rave reviews for its soothing properties, and we hope you’ve experienced its benefits! For those who enjoy a bit of creativity, why not try crafting your own toner at home? All you need is a clean glass or aluminum bottle and one of the exciting recipes below!
Revitalize Dull or Congested Skin with This Refreshing Toner
To create a toner specifically designed for dull or congested skin, start by pouring one cup of boiling water over ½ cup of fresh, organic parsley. Allow the mixture to cool down completely, then strain it carefully and transfer it into a clean bottle. This natural toner is not only refreshing but also packed with nutrients that help brighten the skin’s appearance. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will remain effective for up to two weeks, ensuring your skin stays vibrant and clear.
Hydrate and Nourish Dry Skin with This Soothing Toner
For those battling dry skin, a hydrating toner can make a world of difference. Blend together ½ cucumber, with the skin still on, and a tablespoon of fresh aloe vera gel—store-bought is fine if you lack an aloe plant. Blend until the mixture is smooth, adding a little water if necessary to help it blend thoroughly. Once completed, strain the mixture and pour it into a clean bottle. This refreshing toner should be kept in the fridge and is good for up to ten days, providing your skin with the hydration it craves.
Balance Normal or Acne-Prone Skin with This Clarifying Toner
To formulate a toner that caters to normal or acne-prone skin, start by pouring one cup of boiling water over two chamomile tea bags. Allow the tea to cool down before removing the bags. Next, enhance the mixture by adding one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, both known for their skin benefits. Transfer this blend into a clean bottle and give it a good shake before each use. This toner can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making it a convenient option for daily skincare.
You might be wondering about witch hazel as an alternative. If you can source witch hazel hydrosol, it can be used to create an excellent toner! However, most commercially available witch hazel is high in alcohol, which can be overly drying for the majority of skin types. This is why we’ve opted to use more hydrating ingredients like aloe and tea in our recipes!
