DIY Skin Toner Recipe: Refresh Your Skin Naturally

Looking for a simple, all-natural skin toner that you can easily make at home? This DIY skin toner combines the soothing properties of rosehip oil with the gentle cleansing of apple cider vinegar, leaving your skin refreshed and balanced. Best of all, it uses ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen! I personally always use all Organic products.

Why go Organic?

Ingredients:

  • 500ml filtered or distilled water
  • 1 teaspoon organic baking soda (bi-carb soda)
  • 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar
  • A few drops of organic rosehip oil (3-4 drops)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the base: In a clean container, pour 500ml of filtered or distilled water. This will act as the base of your toner, ensuring it’s gentle on the skin.
  2. Add baking soda: Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda. This ingredient helps to balance the skin’s pH and can be effective for oily or acne-prone skin.
  3. Apple cider vinegar: Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, which acts as a natural astringent, helping to tighten pores and restore your skin’s natural glow.
  4. Rosehip oil: Add 3-4 drops of rosehip oil. This nourishing oil is packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids that help hydrate and rejuvenate your skin.
  5. Mix: Gently stir the mixture to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Store: Pour the toner into a clean spray bottle or a resealable jar. It can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks.

How to Use:

  • Shake the toner well before each use.
  • After cleansing your face, apply the toner using a cotton pad or spritz it directly onto your skin.
  • Let it air dry or pat gently with your fingers, then follow with your favorite moisturizer.

Why These Ingredients Work:

  1. Baking Soda (Bi-carb Soda):
    Baking soda helps to balance the pH level of the water, creating a soothing base for the skin. It has mild alkaline properties, which can help neutralize acidity and calm irritation on the skin’s surface. This makes it especially useful for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
  2. Apple Cider Vinegar:
    Apple cider vinegar is an excellent natural toner because it restores the skin’s pH balance and breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells, keeping pores open and clear. It also has the ability to fade sunspots and age spots, improving skin tone over time. Additionally, its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can reduce acne and acne scars, making it a powerful multitasker for clear, healthy skin.
  3. Rosehip Oil:
    Rosehip oil is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins that deeply hydrate the skin. It locks in moisture, plumps fine lines and wrinkles, and combats free radical damage from environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution. This oil is also known for brightening the skin tone, reducing redness, and leaving your skin velvety soft and nourished.
  4. Filtered or Distilled Water:
    Using filtered or distilled water ensures that your toner is free from impurities, chemicals, and pollutants that can irritate the skin. These types of water provide a clean, gentle base, helping the other ingredients work more effectively without introducing harsh elements that can disrupt your skin’s natural balance.

This simple toner is perfect for everyday use, and you’ll love how fresh and hydrated your skin feels!ion is for a paragraph or text (move up, down, duplicate and delete as needed)
