Face toners tighten pores and remove residues, such as excess oil from your skin. Commercially manufactured face oil toners are often alcohol based, which can be hard on your skin and extremely drying. You can make your own alcohol-free face oil toner right in your own kitchen. Better yet, you may already have the main ingredient in your pantry.
Step 1
Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan on your stove top.
Step 2
Bring the water to a rolling boil. Turn off the stove and move the pot to a cool burner.
Step 3
Add five green tea bags to the boiling water. Allow the tea bags to steep.
Step 4
Remove the tea bags from the water when it has cooled. Pour the green tea water into a decorative jar that has a tight-fitting lid.
Step 5
Saturate a large cotton ball with the homemade face oil toner. Rub the cotton ball over your face twice a day after each cleansing.
Tips and Warnings
- Add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to the homemade toner. The peppermint will add a refreshing aroma to the face oil toner. Green tea has antioxidant and polyphenols that benefit the skin, according to SmartSkincare.com.
- Allow the homemade green tea face oil toner to cool down completely before use. Applying the toner to your skin before it has cooled can cause severe burns to your skin.
