8 NATURAL, HOMEMADE TONERS FOR OILY SKIN
8 Natural, Homemade Toners for Oily Skin
Any skincare addict will tell you how important toners are. They can add some serious nutrients back into your skin which can help with skin texture and balance. However, if you have oily skin you also know how scary toners can be. Finding the right one for you can be an absolute nightmare. Toners that your friends recommend can turn your face into a serious grease trap. But, did you know that there are other options out there for you. Make your own oil friendly toner right at home! Here is how to do it.
Fresh roses homemade toner for oily skin
Rose water is the perfect toner alternative for oily skin suffers. Rose water offers amazing hydration without slicking up your face. Fill up a clean and sanitized 200ml spray bottle ¾’s of the way full with rose water. Next, add in three drops of lavender oil, 3 drops of rose essential oil and one tablespoon of witch-hazel. The witch hazel will naturally remove bacteria from your face, while the rose oil and lavender will leave your skin soft and toned.
Peppermint toning pads
Making your own natural toning pads at home is a lot easier than you may think. Start out with a clean mason jar and grab yourself a handful of cotton round pads. Next make your peppermint mixture. Mix equal parts of purified water with organic apple cider vinegar. Next, add in a good amount of peppermint extract drops, but don’t overdo it. Start slowly adding cotton rounds to the mason jar while adding in your peppermint mixture in layers. Leave your jar to soak in the goodness overnight. You will have perfectly saturated single use toner pads.
Green tea homemade toner for oily skin
Green tea is a serious ally for those oily skinned ladies out there. Seep your favorite all natural green tea and let it cool down completely. Next, add in a squeeze of lemon juice and follow up with a couple drops of peppermint oil. Pour the mixture into a small spray bottle. The best part about this toner is that it can double up as a skin refresher throughout the day. This way you can keep the oily shine at bay because the green tea will naturally mattify your skin while tightening pores.
Simple ice bath
Not all oily skin toners have to be fancy and floral. There is beauty in simplicity, literally! Some people have that tricky oily skin that slicks up at any sign of product, so let’s revert to the old school in order to tighten pores and clarify texture. Fill up a large bowl with water and lots of ice. After washing your face, pat your skin dry and emerge your fresh face right into the cold water. This may seem like more of a torture technique, than a facial toner, but trust us! The shocking cold water will do magical things to your oily skin. No time for an ice bath? Try just rubbing some ice cubs over your skin to close those pores and tone the skin.
Aloe vera homemade toner for oily skin
One natural ingredient that is a skin showstopper is aloe. Aloe has been used as a skin healer for ages and the more we learn about it, the more we know how essential it is to your skins regeneration. Aloe can naturally heal common skin problems from blemishes to rashes. Take a glass container and fill it halfway up with purified water and the rest of the way with natural aloe gel or extract. Shake the bottle to prevent the aloe from settling to the bottom. Each time you need to refresh and tone your skin, simply pour some of the mixture onto a cotton pad and swipe it over your thirsty skin.
Hint of mint homemade toner for oily skin
Mint is not only a natural antibiotic, it also works wonders when it comes to calming down inflammation and keeping redness at bay. Boil 2 cups of water with a handful of fresh mint leaves. Once the mixture is cool; add in a few drops of orange extract. The orange will give your skin a boost of vitamin C which helps with skin cell regeneration. Add your mixture to clean spray bottle and go about your day.
White vinegar homemade toner for oily skin
While apple cider vinegar seems to be getting all the attention lately, its sister white vinegar is just as useful for skin care. Mix equal parts of unfiltered white vinegar with purified water. This mixture is enough to tone your skin, but why stop there? Customize your new toner with a splash of rose water. This vinegar toner will help neutralize oils that live on the surface, while rose water will replenish your skin’s natural healthy oils to leave you with beautifully balanced skin.
Floral spray homemade toner for oily skin
Roses are not the only flowers in the garden that can give your skin some much needed TLC. Hibiscus flowers also have some amazing healing properties as well. Hibiscus smoothes out skin, while helping to reduce the appearance of pesky little imperfections. This is also a great option for ladies with oily skin who are also looking to fight the signs of ageing. This spray can be made in two different ways. You can seep some natural hibiscus tea and allow it to cool before adding it to a toning bottle. If you are feeling extra fancy, get your hands on some fresh hibiscus flowers. Soak the flowers in hot water and allow them to sit overnight. Next, strain out the left over flower leaves and add in a touch of honey. Thoroughly mix the two together until you have a well incorporated toner. The honey will help eliminate the bacteria and nourish the skin.
Tone Up!
Your skin can truly benefit from an amazing toner. Toners will tighten pores and skin, while reducing the look of fine lines and acne scars. Toners are also dull looking skin sufferer’s best friend. So the next time you check out a toner at your favourite beauty store, take a hard look at the ingredients. Chances are you won’t be able to pronounce half of them, let alone know what they will do for you. So skip the guessing game and make your own natural toner at home. Keep the oil at bay and show the world your natural freshness and glow.
