Homemade Toners

[Riverrock]

Anyone got any reccipes for a skin toner for oily acne prone skin, not something too drying though.

Have you tried ACV?

[Riverrock]

Do you just use plain acv or do you dilute it, because it seems like it would be very strong on the skin?

i second the ACV toner. i have been using it for two weeks now and i love it. I made a mixture of 50/50 ACv and water. My skin is smoother, and i find my skin being a lot less oily.

[Riverrock]

so you just put the mixture in a little bottle, and it lasts for how long, as in when its not safe to use anymore?

I use plain witch hazel and it does well for me. My skin never has that dry, tight, irratating feeling that many have left me with in the past.

WH has made my skin dry and tight, I will try the AV with water, I use chilled green tea but I just started so I dont know yet.

I read somewhere that you can use lime or lemon as a toner.

I use it straight from the bottle, but its probably a good idea to dilute it for starters.

I've been using Rose Hydrosol with a few drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil added. Very simple and works wonderfully for my skin.
