DIY Toner...make it yourself!

Here's a simple recipe for a hydrating toner, perfect for the winter months:

1/4 cup spring water
1 tablespoon witch hazel
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
5 drops clary sage essential oil
5 drops grapefruit essential oil
5 drops German chamomile essential oil

Combine all ingredients in a small (2 to 4 ounce) spray bottle and shake well to blend. To use, shake well and spray directly onto clean skin with eyes closed or spray onto a cotton pad and apply. Follow with skin-type-specific moisturizer. Store in a cool, dry place for up to two months.

The essential oils are readily available from natural stores such as Whole Foods and many sites online. Enjoy your natural toner without paying the high prices of the usual natural brand!
