2 Toners to Make at Home

Citrus toner & Rose toner

This Citrus toner can be made from simple things in your home.  If you don’t have the essential oils of orange, lemon, grapefruit and mint-you can always use the tangible fruits.  Keep in mind-that fruit products do not keep as long as essential oils.
Citrus Mint Toner
3 Tbsp fresh mint leaves       or——-2 drops mint essential oil
peel from 1 orange                or——-3 drops orange essential oil
Peel from 1/2 lemon              or——-3 drops lemon essential oil
Peel from 1/3 grapefruit        or——-3 drops grapefruit essential oil
1 cup boiling water
1 Tbsp witch hazel extract or 1/2 cup witch hazel distillate.
1. Place mint leaves in a bowl and bruise with a spoon in order to release their volatile oils.
2. Add citrus peels.
3. Pour boiling water over leaves and peel and allow to cool completely
4. Strain to remove solids.
5. Add witch hazel extract (tincture) or distillate.
6. Pour into a clean container
*NOTE: as an unpreserved toner, this is essentially a “fresh” product that must be kept refrigerated and used up in a week or so. Don’t store it in your warm bathroom! Also makes a wonderfully refreshing facial mist for a pick-me-up any time of day.
