Do you make toners at home? what are your recepies?

- lemon juice (if you have oily or acne prone skin or tanned skin)
- honey (if you have dry skin)
- single crushed slice of cucumber (great in summer months) - for closing pores
- Slice of tomato (crush well and strain before use) - great for oily skin and tanned skin.
- Jojoba oil - for very dry skin.
- Mint leaves - boil few mint leaves in water. Chill & use - excellent for oily, acne prone skin & during summers to cool down sun-burnt skin.

ReplyDeletei don't have the energy or motivation to make anything at home. your diy tips are great though. when i'm out of toner, i merely spritz my face with ice cold water.
ReplyDeleteI use honey and lemon for different seasons. Don't use them regularly though...too lazy :)

I should have tried the mint thing in summers..and so easy to make too.
ReplyDelete@Ki: I agree! :D
ReplyDelete@Anamika: I like cucumber toner. They feel really nice after a hot day in the sun :)
@Palak: Nice selection :D
@Anks: No I don't use a toner regularly. I tend to carry rose water with me as I get sun burnt quite easily and have some toner at home to cool my skin when I come back from a day in the hot sun. For some people toners help reduce the appearance of pores, for me it is just a cool treat. Toners don't really make that much of a difference in your skin, IMO, and using them is just a matter of personal prefernce.
@Rima: Good enuf :D
ReplyDelete@Yuvna: I sometimes use honey and lemon together as a pack - makes skin supersoft :D
@Simran: Thks :)
@Sovina: Me too! I love honey and lemon myself for skin care. Easy to get access too, and they do wonders for the skin :)
@Rads: Maybe next summers now :D
I like to use ice and tomato slices on my face. Work well. But I am mostly lazy so like ready made ones.
ReplyDeleteNice tips. :)
