Homemade Toner

I found a recipe for skin toner that I needed some information on please. It said:

6 spoons of water
1 spoon of Red Wine Vinegar
1 spoon of vanilla essence

My question is can I substitute regular vinegar instead of Red Wine Vinegar, and what the devil is vanilla essence? Can I just use vanilla extract? All help is appreciated. Thanks. Jamish from Leoti, Kansas

Be careful with witch hazel bought from thrift/dollar stores; the witch hazels often have alcohol mixed into them.

Apple cider vinegar. It's the BEST! And its not full of chemicals which make your skin worse.

RE: Homemade Toner

Tone with freshly squeezed lemon juice applied with a cotton ball. ( This natural astringent purifies the pores and provides a dose of pure vitamin C.)

To gently balance and tone, apply rose water (which can be found at most drug stores) with a cotton ball. (or make ur own rose water at home--recipe below--

RE: Homemade Toner

Red wine vinegar is slightly different, and has a stonger flavor. I use it for making dressing for a greek salad. Vanilla essence is likely pure vanilla. I would guess you could use vanilla extract since I would expect all it does is make the red wine vinegar smell better when you put it on your skin.

The best liquid that I have found to keep my skin soft and blemish free is oatmeal water. I boil some old fashioned oats in more water than I need, then when it's cool, I skim off the water and put it in a plastic bottle. I refrigerate it. It is somewhat sticky, but I put it on with a cotton ball for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. Makes your skin feel great. (05/13/2007)

RE: Homemade Toner

This is a good toner pH Restorer 2 c. distilled water 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar 10 drops favorite essential oil, good ones to try: lavender, lemon or rose Combine and store in non-clear container. Use about 1 tbsp per application. Needs no refrigeration I did this with rose and it smells wonderful! As for cleanser: try this one: CLASSIC ROSEWATER AND GLYCERIN CLEANSER 1/2 c. rosewater 1/2 c. glycerin Combine ingredients and heat to just boiling DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL. Store. Apply with washcloth or cotton pads,using 1 tbsp per application. No refrigeration required. Shake before each use. Makes 16 treatments. Actually I was able to buy it already mixed in a brown bottle at my local drugstore, try the first aid section(I know sounds like an odd place to put it, but thats where they had it) (05/14/2007)
