Homemade Toner to Reduce Pores and Brighten Skin Tone

I had been meaning to buy a good facial toner for a while, but every time high prices or bulk loads of chemicals would deter me from buying one. However, after some research and by reading key ingredients of most of the facial toners, I decided to make my own facial toner with cheap, over-the-counter ingredients.

Ingredients:

• Rosewater
• Glycerin
• Witch hazel (preferably with 0% alcohol, but I couldn’t find any so used the one with 14% alcohol)
• Clean, empty spray bottle or drop bottle
• Small plastic funnel

Procedure:

Step 1: Find a clean work space and spread a newspaper to prevent so that any spillage does not ruin your workplace.

Step 2: Put the markings on the sides of the empty bottle to know the ratio of each ingredient.

Step 3: Put the funnel on the bottle and carefully start pouring ingredients; start with Glycerin and pour only till first marking; too much glycerin will make it tacky and sticky which would be workable, but only indoors and not for usual CTM routine before makeup.

Glycerin till first marking is still a bit too much, but works for me. One can change the ratio as per the requirements.

Step 4: Add the other two ingredients in equal ratio and after firmly closing the cap, vigorously shake the bottle.

Step 5: Take out a few drops of the toner on a cotton pad and apply on face to test its efficacy.
