Healing Yourself Naturally’s Homemade Facial Toner
2 cups of distilled water
1 cups of witch hazel
4 drops of Geranium essential oil
3 drops of tea tree essential oil
2 drops of rosewood essential oil
Directions
Store in a glass or aluminum bottle.
How To Use
- Shake well before each use. The reason why you have to shake it is because the essential oils will float to the top during storage.
- Dab affected areas with cotton wool two or three times a day. (Another alternative is to put your facial toner in a spray bottle. You would then shake and spritz your face. That’s my method)
The witch hazel and the essential oils will aid in cleaning your skin and help unclog your pores. They also help by giving and antibiotic protection to your skin.
This is another holistic remedy that can be used to clean your skin. The natural ingredients used are simple but extremely helpful ways to keep your skin naturally beautiful. Enjoy!
