Face toners and face essences are easy to make at home and they can be tailored to fit your skin and what it may be needing. Using them after cleansing preps the skin with added moisture and planty goodness, helping your skin’s pH to balance and readying it for moisturizer.
Making them at home also eliminates many of the other preservatives and fragrances that are found in them when you buy them at the store.
This recipe is sort of a one size fits all skin types using roses, calendula, and chamomile to nurture, balance, and prep the skin for moisturizer.
Flower Face Toner Recipe
1 cup boiled water
1 heaping tablespoon of rose, calendula, and chamomile blend
(or 1 tsp each)
½ tsp vegetable glycerin

Measure the dried roses, calendula, and chamomile into a heatproof glass jar and pour one cup of just boiled water over the herbs.
