Five All-natural Toners You Can Make At Home
Here are five natural toners that you can make at home; pick the one you like the best, or pick all five!
Toning is an important part of one's daily beauty regime, and it's important not to skip it. However, over the years, all the research on toning brought a lot of dirt up to the surface, and beauty experts began debating whether toning was really as good for the skin as it claimed to be or not.
After all, how good could it be to splash your face with a complex mix of chemicals immediately after cleansing it, some experts wondered. Shouldn't ice-cold water be enough to tighten pores, others asked.
Most toners contain alcohol, which is simply disastrous for the skin, as it strips the skin of the essential emollients it requires to stay soft, supple and wrinkle-free. Further, the harsh scents in most toners can damage the skin and even cause rashes and breakouts.
Toners also contain parabens, which are unsafe not just for the skin but for your overall health and the environment in general. Parabens have even been found to be carcinogenic and can increase the risk of neurodegenerative illnesses like Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
It's not very difficult to make your own toner, one that does its job, is eco-friendly, is cost-effective and is certainly not a health hazard by any means! Here are five toners that you can make at home; pick the one you like best, or pick all five!
Camphor And Rose Water:
Add five small tablets of camphor to about 250 ml of pure rose water. Shake the bottle until the camphor is well-dissolved, and store in the refrigerator. To use, pour some onto a swab of cotton wool and apply on a clean face.
Rose and camphor both have active pore-tightening properties, and you can literally see and feel the toner working within minutes. If stored well, this toner is long-lasting and effective.
Cucumber, Aloe Vera And Rose Water:
Peel half a cucumber and grind it to a complete paste in a mixer. Add about half a teacup of water to make a juice. Then, strain the juice through a sieve or a fine muslin cloth, taking care to leave most of the fibre behind. Add the strained cucumber juice to about 250 ml of pure rose water. Now add the aloe vera. You can add either add aloe juice, gel or the pulp of the aloe plant. Ensure you blend it well, and store it in the refrigerator. Use within a week.
White Vinegar, Lemon And Rose Water:
Vinegar is acetic acid, and is a great toner by itself, but it becomes doubly effective when combined with lemon, a mild toning a bleaching agent and rose water - another toning agent. Take about half a tea cup of strained lime juice and add half a tea cup of white vinegar to it.
Add this mixture to about 250 ml of pure rose water. Store this mixture in the refrigerator. This toner lasts nearly forever (as vinegar and lime juice are both natural preservatives), which is one of the great things about it. To use, pour some on a swab of cotton wool and apply on a clean face.
Three Tea Toner:
If you're an avid tea drinker and like trying out various kinds of teas, this three-tea wonder toner is definitely for you. The tannin in the tea acts as an astringent and helps to tighten pores. Tea also has antioxidants that are good for the skin.
Take about half a cup each of the following teas : a) Chamomile tea b) Green tea c) Peppermint tea. All three teas have skin restorative and toning properties. Strain, mix them up in a 1:3 ratio and refrigerate. Use this toner within a week.
Egg White And Yogurt:
One amazing method to restore lipid balance is to make an egg white and yogurt face mask. Mix the white of one egg in about one tablespoon of yogurt. Apply this on your face and wash off after fifteen minutes. The egg white tightens the pores, while the yogurt soothes troubled skin.
