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.
By incorporating this DIY toner into your skincare routine, you’ll be using natural ingredients to help manage acne and keep your skin feeling fresh and revitalized. Enjoy the soothing aroma and the benefits of this personalized skincare solution!
