Notes
How to Use
- Cleanse your face: Start with a clean face. Use your regular face wash and pat your skin dry.
- Apply the Toner: If you’re using a spray bottle, simply spritz a light layer of toner onto your face. If you’re using a jar, apply the toner with a cotton pad.
- Let it Dry: Allow the toner to air dry before applying any moisturizer or other skincare products.
Tips
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have an adverse reaction to any of the ingredients.
- Storage: Store the toner in a cool, dark place. It can usually last for about 2 weeks. Consider making smaller batches if you don’t use it quickly.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the quantities of essential oils according to your skin’s needs and preference.
