Facial Toner OMGeeee, it is so good!




The facial toner I made is absolutely heavenly! My face loves it and I love it.
It is calming and soothing. Anti-inflammatory. It is really easy to make, too.

You need:
1 tea bag of Green Tea (I use organic with lemongrass)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup witch hazel
8-10 drops lavender or tea tree essential oil (100% pure, therapeutic grade)
(For acne-prone skin, use 5-10 drops of grapefruit or lemon essential oil as well)
I also add a few drops of frankincense essential oil because of its anitinflammatory properties.
Spray bottle or glass bottle
Cotton squares

Steep tea bag in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bag. 
Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Add the witch hazel and essential oil drops.
Pour into spray bottle or bottle of choice.
Apply morning and evening without make-up with cotton square before moisturizer.

It keeps for at least 4 months. It lasts longer if you put it in smaller bottles and keep one in the bathroom and the rest in the fridge until ready to use.
