DIY Facial Toner Spray’s Using Essential Oils*
Making a DIY facial toner with essential oils can be a natural and effective way to nourish and care for your skin. The benefits of using a facial toner include:
- Balancing pH: Facial toners help balance the pH of your skin, which is important for maintaining healthy skin function.*
- Cleansing: Toners can help remove excess dirt, oil, and makeup residue from your skin, leaving it clean and refreshed.*
- Tightening and toning: Some essential oils, such as tea tree, lavender, and geranium, have astringent properties that can help tighten and tone the skin. This can minimize the appearance of pores and give the skin a smoother, more refined look.*
- Hydration: Facial toners often contain hydrating ingredients like aloe vera or glycerin, which help to moisturize the skin and improve its overall hydration levels.*
