DIY Skin Toner

So......What is skin toner?

Toner (skin care)In cosmetics, skin toner or simply toner refers to a lotion or wash designed to cleanse the skin and shrink the appearance of pores, usually used on the face. Toners can be applied to the skin in different ways

I use a toner because they not only help shrink the size of my pores but they seem to even out my skin tone and my face feels fresh and clean. I wanted to do a little research on how to make some DIY toners, and thiswas a fun one I found that seemed to have good health benefits for your skin as well!. Hope you enjoy! :) 

If you try it or know of any great ones you have tried please tell me about them!

1. Cucumber Toner

Take a cucumber and chop it up into fine small pieces- small size cucumber works great.

Get a half cup yogurt- and mix it with the finely chopped cucumber to liquidize.

Apply the mixture and leave it on for 5-10 minutes and then wash it off. store the rest of the mixture in a container in 
the fridge for future use.

This one is good for normal skin. 

Health benefits of yogurt on the skin include:

(Be sure to use a plain, organic yogurt. You don’t want the additives and sugar)

Moisturizing, fight acne, prevent premature aging, relieve sunburn and reduce discoloration. It’s an all-around beauty multitasker. 

Health benefits of a cucumber on the skin include:

Cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen, it becomes easier for cucumber to mask all the problem areas. It helps in soothing and softening your skin which can get you relaxed in no time. Cucumbers have a cooling effect and the cleaning and cleansing property helps your skin tremendously making it soft and supple.


Loving it! Hope you have fun trying this one out :)
