how can I make a combination skin toner?

Question

Need to make it out of natural ingredients not chemicals.

Answer 1

i feel the same way about natural products. i've been using Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (i believe it's organic) for about 2 weeks and i LOVE it! here are other people's (rave) reviews about it, and recipes for dilution (some combine it with green tea, etc.):

personally, i've been doing 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water, and it seems to be just right for me. (i started out with 50/50, but i think it was too harsh)

good luck!

Answer 3

Astringents tend to tighten the pores in the skin, dissolve oils, and help remove dirt. Anything you use would need to be tried out. I suggest you start with your arm first to see if it bothers less sensitive skin than the face. I would think things like alcohol witch hazel mixtures would work well. Alcohols generally originate from organic sources. Possibly additions of some things like lemon juices or lime may work in combination with other things. Alum works well but is fairly strong and I believe a metal. Be sure to list your proportions as to what works well for you or on a list according to the highest ingredient first. Generally cosmetics are mixed in a water base so if you use water in it be sure it is distilled or highly purified. Alcohol will also work to help prevent bacterial contamination. Use sterilized containers for storage with good sealing caps.
