Norma Posted on 10/13/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recipe for Gentle Skin Toner By heidi_n (2) Profile Contact Hi Norma, If you have dry or sensitive skin, try dissolving a teaspoon of powdered milk in a cup of spring water and applying it with a cotton bowl or spray bottle. Instead of powdered milk you can use about 2-3 teaspoons of regular milk. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if you'd like a more astringent effect. I've posted a lot of natural skin care recipes like this on my website if you're interested (www.fruitfacial.net)! I hope this helps.

I've included the metric as I see you are from Ontario, like me. PH RESTORER 2 c. (475 mL) distilled water 1/4 c. (59 mL) apple cider vinegar 10 drops of your favourite essential oil, try lavender, lemon or rose ( I used 6 of rose, 5 of lavender for a lavender/rose scent that everyone loved, including me) Combine all ingredients and store (does not need refrigeration) Use about l tbsp (15 mL) per application. The vinegar helps combat the alkaline residue that soap and cleansers leave behind. When your skin mantains the correct pH balance (5:5), it has a much better chance of fighting off infections. Shake bottle before each use. Use daily followed by moisturizer. MAKES ABOUT 32 treatments. You do not say what skin type you have other than what sounds like sensitive. Here's one that is good for all skin types, especially rashy or irritated. FENNEL SOOTHER 1 tbsp (15 mL) crushed fennel seeds 1/4 c. (59 mL) apple cider vinegar 2 cups (473 mL) distilled water 2 tsp (10 mL) plain glycerin (see the first aid section of your favourite drugstore) You need something to crush the fennel, see if you can get it already crushed or ground somewhere. If not, a mortar and pestle works if u had one if not, put them in a zip lock and pound them gently with a rolling pin or bottle. About 32 treatments, use daily. Will also soften hair if used as a rinse. Retores ph and soften skin too. Boil water. Remove from heat, add crushed fennel seeds. Allow to steep for 45 minutes. Strain, add vinegar and glycerin, and store. Shake well before each use. Use l tbsp (15 mL) per application; splash on if desired. Does not require refrigeration if product is used up within 30 days.

You can get it in an alcohol free version too, but you might have to look for that one. Really any witch hazel works, stinks a little but the smell goes away. I take my surface makeup off when I get home, just to get some of the gunk off, then do a real cleaning later. Hope that helps!

If your skin is dry, try adding a little glycerine to it. Dab it on with a cotton wool ball on clean skin. Dorianne, Belgium Posted on 09/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recipe for Gentle Skin Toner By ramona I (10) Profile Blog! Contact There is a natural plant that's called aloe vera. It's good for dry skin if that's what your looking for. My husband puts it on. He has very fair skin. He rubs it on when he gets burned from the sun, it helps him so much. I know you can also eat it as well. Rebecca Posted on 09/29/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
