Equipment

  • 8-oz amber or glass bottle

Materials

  • 3/4 cup green tea (strongly brewed)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Simply pour the green tea and apple cider vinegar into a glass jar or a glass spray bottle.
  • Use a cotton ball to apply your homemade toner after cleansing or as often as desired. I recommend using it each morning and night.
  • Apply your moisturizer as usual.
  • Store this toner in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about two weeks.

Notes

While these two ingredients alone are enough to make a spectacular homemade toner, you can also experiment with adding 2-3 drops of my favorite essential oils. Try these to enhance the potency of your toner for oily skin:
  • Orange essential oil (cleanses and tightens the skin, balances oil production).
  • Lavender essential oil (incredible at soothing and calming the skin).
  • Lemon essential oil (brightening and toning).
