A good toner can be a secret weapon in your skincare routine. It helps remove any traces of dirt your cleanser may have left behind, removes excess oil, and moisturizes and softens your skin. If you're not satisfied with the toners you've found in the store, it might be time to make your own. By mixing your own toner together you not only save money, but you can also ensure that it contains only natural and healthy ingredients suitable for your skin type to achieve a radiant complexion.

• 10 g aloe vera gel

• 5 drops of lavender essential oil
• 3 drops of Roman chamomile essential oil
• 5 drops of sweet orange essential oil
• 2 drops of essential carrot seed oil
• Filtered water to fill the bottle

Toner for acne-prone skin

• 240 ml of filtered water
• 240 ml raw apple cider vinegar
• 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil

To step

Method 1 of 4: Prepare lemon toner for oily skin

1. Mix the lemon juice with the water. Put 240 ml of water and 120 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice in a glass or plastic bottle. Shake the bottle well to make sure the ingredients are mixed well.
   • For best results, use filtered, distilled, or bottled water.
   • Lemon juice can help remove excess oil, close pores and kill bacteria.
   • Make sure you use a bottle with a capacity of at least 350 ml for the toner.
2. Dampen a cotton ball with the toner and apply it to your face. When you're ready to use the toner, wet a cotton pad or ball with it. Rub it gently on your face, paying special attention to areas that are more oily.
   • If you want, you can put the lemon toner in a spray bottle and mist your face with the toner. Let your skin absorb the toner before continuing with your skincare routine.
3. Follow with a daytime sunscreen. While lemon juice helps improve the appearance of oily skin, it also slightly exfoliates, which can make your face more sensitive to the sun. Protect your skin by applying a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 if you applied the toner during the day.

Method 2 of 4: Create a moisturizing toner for dry skin

1. Mix all ingredients in a spray bottle. In a clean plastic spray bottle, mix 60ml witch hazel, 5ml vegetable glycerin, 10g aloe vera gel, 2.5ml colloidal silver, 5 drops lavender essential oil, 3 drops roman chamomile essential oil, 5 drops sweet orange essential oil, 2 drops carrot seed essential oil and enough filtered water to fill the bottle. Shake the bottle gently to mix all the ingredients.
   • The colloidal silver is an optional ingredient, but it helps extend the toner shelf life and treats skin conditions such as acne, rosacea and psoriasis.
   • Keep the toner in a cool and dark place. You can keep it in the fridge for longer life, but even at room temperature it should keep for up to six months.
2. Spray the toner on a clean face. Before using the toner, you should wash your face with your usual facial cleanser. Then gently spray the toner onto your face and wait 2-3 minutes for your skin to absorb the toner before moving on to the next step in your skincare routine.
   • If you prefer, you can spray the toner onto a cotton pad or ball and wipe your entire face with it.
3. Apply a moisturizer. After your skin absorbs the toner, it's important to moisturize your face. Use your face cream and massage it on your skin to keep your skin smooth and supple.
   • It's okay if your skin is still slightly damp from the toner when you apply the moisturizer. This will help retain moisture.

Method 3 of 4: Prepare an apple cider vinegar toner for acne-prone skin

1. Mix all ingredients. In a glass or plastic bottle, mix 240ml of filtered water, 240ml of raw apple cider vinegar and 3 drops of tea tree oil. Shake the bottle gently to make sure all ingredients are fully mixed.
   • Use an airtight container with a capacity of at least half a liter for the toner.
   • The recipe for the toner is one part water to one part apple cider vinegar, so you can adjust it as needed to make as much or as little as you want.
2. Wet a cotton pad with the toner and rub your face with it. If you are going to use the toner, moisten a cotton pad or ball with the mixture. Then rub it gently all over your face after you wash it, paying special attention to the areas where you normally get acne. Do not rinse the toner.
   • You can also store the toner in a spray bottle and spray it on your face if you prefer.
3. Use your usual acne products. Wait two to three minutes after applying the toner for your skin to absorb it completely. Then apply your usual acne products such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to treat blemishes.

Method 4 of 4: Mix a rose water toner for sensitive skin

1. Put the salt and oils in a glass bottle. Drop a pinch of salt into a glass bottle with a capacity of 150 ml or larger. Then add three drops of lavender essential oil and three drops of frankincense essential oil. The salt causes the essential oils to spread through the toner.
   • If you don't have lavender or frankincense essential oils, you can use six drops of your favorite essential oil instead. Just make sure they aren't oils that can irritate your skin.
2. Mix in the witch hazel and rose water. With the salt and essential oils in the glass bottle, pour in 90 ml witch hazel and 30 ml rose water. Shake the bottle gently to thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
   • The toner does not need to be stored in the refrigerator, although it can be very refreshing to keep it cold during the warmer months.
3. Try the toner on your skin to see how it reacts. If you have sensitive skin, you should always be careful when applying new products. To make sure the toner is suitable for your skin, try a little on a small area of ​​skin first, such as behind your ear or along your jaw. Wait 24 to 48 hours to see if you have a response. If not, you can use the toner without a problem.
4. Apply toner to a cotton ball or cotton pad and run it over your face. After washing your face with your regular facial cleanser, wet a cotton pad or ball with the toner. Gently run over your face to apply the toner. Then continue with the rest of your usual skincare routine.
   • You can store the toner in a spray bottle if you prefer and spray it on your face instead of using cotton pads or balls.

Tips

• Even if you don't have sensitive skin, it's a good idea to test the toner on a small area of ​​skin and wait a day or two to see if it reacts before using it all over your face.
• Use the toner of your choice after washing your face with a facial cleanser suitable for your skin type.
