Here are our 5 easy natural face toner recipes:

1

Apple Cider Vinegar Toner

The benefits of apple cider vinegar for health are many. Whether taken internally or applied on the skin, it is a must-have for anyone who wants to detox their body and skin. ACV contains malic and lactic acid which helps soften and exfoliate your skin. This skin toner is used to treat acne, help with blemishes and scar and achieve healthier skin in general.

To make this, you’ll need:

  • 3 parts water
  • 1 part apple cider vinegar

Take a clean bottle (spray bottle preferably), fill it ¾ with water and add apple cider vinegar to the remaining ¼ part. Shake well. Use it every morning and night after washing your face. You can spray it directly or apply by soaking a cotton ball in this toner.

Lemon Face Toner

Lemon is a natural bleach which helps lighten skin complexion. The acids in lemon juice are irritating and can do more harm than good when applied directly to the skin. Never go out in direct sun exposure because lemon juice can burn your skin and cause hyperpigmentation. Therefore, always dilute lemon juice with water for skin application. It has antibacterial and anti-wrinkle properties which help heal acne and prevent wrinkles, respectively.

For lemon toner, you’ll need:

  • 1 ½ cups of  distilled water
  • ½ tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil

Mix everything in a spray bottle and shake well. Use this every night before bedtime and rinse in the morning. Keep this toner in the fridge and it can last for about 2 weeks.

Sea Salt Face Toner

Salt has been used for centuries for therapeutic purposes. Sea salt is often used in scrubs because of its exfoliating properties. It can also be used in toners for the same purpose.

To make this toner, mix 1 tbsp of sea salt in a cup of warm water. Pour this in a spray bottle and it’s ready to use. Apply this morning and night after your cleansing routine.

Rosewater and Glycerin Toner

Rosewater contains phenyl ethanol which is a natural astringent. It’s antiseptic and helps with skin irritation and acne. Glycerin is used in many skin care products for its moisturizing properties. Use this toner for a relaxing and refreshing feel on your skin.

To make your own rosewater and glycerin toner: simply, mix 1 ½ cups of rose water and ¼ cup of glycerin. Pour in a spray bottle. Shake well before use.
