Natural Toners

Hi guys, just thought I would give you quick tip that works great during the summer time.  For those of you who like to use toners after you wash your face check your natural food stores for plant hydrosols.  A hydrosol is the water collected from a plant during steam distillation.  It carries some the plants essential oils without being as harsh as using the oil itself.  The most common hydrosol is rosewater.

You may use the hydrosol as is as a toner, or you may add about 1 tablespoon of glycerin for every 8 oz.  You can even try blending the hydrosols together for different therapeutic effects.  Placing your natural toner in the refrigerator can give a cool refreshing feeling with each use during the summer.
