Witch Hazel and Alcohol Skin Toner

I've made my own for years and it works just fine! I use 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol and 3/4 cup of witch hazel. You can add a couple of drops of blue food coloring to make it look store bought. I hope this recipe helps.

An inexpensive alternative to the cosmetic counter toner is witch hazel. It helps reduce breakouts and is clean smelling.

Homemade Skin Toner

I just recently found out about homemade skincare and am very excited. I already tried the facial scrubs (honey and brown sugar) and loved it. What can I use for a facial toner? I have sensitive skin. Thanks.

I also have sensitive and fragile skin. The best toner I have EVER found is rosewater. Just pour a little on a cotton pad and wipe your face with it. Nice smell too!

Using Vinegar as a Facial Toner

Is vinegar good to use straight out of the bottle as a face toner? Or will it dry your skin?

Vinegar will neutralize the skin's pH level. It's also great at cutting through the oil in oily skin care and is a disinfectant, so it kills bacteria. I also use it on my face, but not full strength because the fumes burn my eyes. Just dilute it with some water and try it. If you like it and have no problems, try it a little stronger until you find a place that's comfortable. You may be able to handle it at full strength. Glycerine will seal moisture in your skin to help prevent drying. It can be found at any drug store or most big item discount stores.

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.
