Hi!
Summer is nearly over, but the heat and humidity haven’t died down a bit! The humidity is affecting my skin, leaving it feeling greasy and giving it a non-so-pleasant texture. It seems that no matter what I do, by mid-day, my face is slick. So I figured I’d experiment with some ingredients to come up with something to keep my skin under control. So today I’ll be sharing this *Cooling Cucumber Facial Toner*!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1 tbsp. water
- 1 tbsp. witch hazel
- 1 tsp. aloe vera gel
- 4 oz. spray bottle
Cut up the cucumber and add all pieces to a blender and blend on high for a minute or two. You can peel the cucumber before blending if you want, but I want all the nutrients that I can get from the cucumber! Once the cucumber is blended, strain the pulp from liquid. You can save the pulp, but you will only need the liquid from this recipe.
Add the aloe vera gel, the witch hazel, and the water to the spray bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with the cucumber juice/water. Cap the bottle and shake. If you want, you can add essential oils to your mist for more benefits, however it’s perfectly okay to leave them out.
Spritz this toner on your face in the morning, or at night for a cooling and refreshing feel!
What’s your favorite natural toner?
