Organic DIY Facial Toners For Natural Beauty!

My mission today it to continue to provide you with easy and simple Do It Yourself organic, natural and safe skin products that will keep your skin beautiful and chemical free.  Living green and healthy means that we need to use what nature provides in all aspect of our lives including skin care.

The ancient Greeks used honey to moisturize their skin and olive oil to protect their skin from the sun drying elements and if it worked for them than don’t you think we should be following in their footsteps and using natural solutions for our health and beauty products.

Toners are used after cleansing and before applying the moisturizer. They act as astringents and may help reduce the look of pores and wrinkles, soothe and purify the skin by removing traces of cleaners. You absolutely should use a toner if you are using cleansing oils or lotions. These toner’s can be blended easily right in the container using a glass container with a small spout or a spray top.

These recipes are inexpensive yet its benefits are priceless.

•  2 cups water
• 1/2 cup raw milk (a great cleanser that feds and soothes your skin)
• 3 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil (contains healthy fats that penetrates deeply to regenerate cells and soften tissue)

Combine all the ingredients in a glass container, put the lid on and shake well.  Use twice daily after cleansing or as often as you need to. If your skin is dry and irritated its time to use it.  Make sure you shake well before each use.
