2 Ingredient DIY Face Toner

Becky De Graaf informative

Toner ingredients

That's right, folks. There are only two ingredients in this recipe.

Because of misconceptions, fashion magazines, and even cosmetics salespeople advising against using a toner, toners have become a confusing category of skincare products.

As it turns out what's standing between you and and unclogged pores might be just adding one product into your beauty routine. When asked "what's the secret weapon to healthy skin?" Dr. Hadley King, a New York City board-certified dermatologist, had one simple answer: toner.

Dr. King explains the benefits of toners:

Shrinks Pores

As the name implies, a toner helps to tone the skin which reduces fine lines and pores.

Gives Your Skin pH Balance

Our skin is naturally acidic, normally with a pH balance of between five and six. After cleansing, due to the alkaline nature of true soap, the pH balance of skin gets disturbed. While the body will restore pH all on it's own, a toner helps to restore this balance quicker.

Adds A Layer Of Protection

Like mentioned above, toners can help close pores and tighten cell gaps after cleansing, thus reducing the penetration of impurities and environmental contaminants into the skin. It can even protect and remove chlorine and minerals present in tap water.

Refreshes Skin

Toner can also be used in lieu of washing your skin when it's oily or dirty. It will leave your skin revitalized, even when you're on-the-go.

Prevents Ingrown Hairs

Toners containing alpha hydroxy acids can help to prevent ingrown hairs. Alpha hydroxy acids dissolve dead skin cells on the skins surface allowing new hair growth to come through and not be trapped underneath causing an ingrown hair. 

Don't be alarmed though, while the sound of "alpha hydroxy acid" sounds like something from the movie The Blob, it's actually found in many food items. For example, glycolic acid is found in cane sugar which makes our organic sugar scrub so refreshing.  Lactic acid is found in yogurt making for popular homemade face masks. Acetic acid is, well, vinegar.

Regardless of the claims on the label, there is never -- ever -- a good reason to use a toner with irritants. Irritation hurts your skin's healing process and reduces healthy collagen production—two things you must avoid if you want to improve your skin!

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Toner

While there are many wonderful toners from nature to chose from, raw apple cider vinegar is affordable, convenient, and readily available in most homes.  It's shelf-stable (does not need to be refrigerated). It's antiseptic. It contains probiotics for your skin. And, as a bonus, it relieves sun burn and razor burn.

Acetic acid, which vinegar is made of, dissolves dead skin cells on the surface revealing fresher, younger-looking skin. Yeah, all that brown stuff you just wiped on your cotton ball is your face.

Because it's antiseptic, it helps heal acne faster.  Have you ever had zit that just kept filling back up with puss over and over again? It's gross. You can say good-bye to those days. Raw apple cider vinegar kicks bacteria in the butt; and the probiotics help regenerate new skin to heal wounds.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 part raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 part water

Equal parts vinegar to water seems to be sufficient for most people.  However, this is not a hard and fast rule.  Being an acid, vinegar will sting open wounds.  If you tend to have a lot of acne with broken skin, increase the water amount so that the toner is more gentle.  As the wounds heal, you can increase the vinegar amount until it's ideal for you.

To Use

After washing your face, preferably with our organic activated charcoal facial soap ;), apply toner to cotton ball or cotton pad. Rub all over your face.

BONUS: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try substituting the water for another toning ingredient like green tea or spearmint tea.

What's your favorite toner?

Thanks for reading!

    I never thought I would fall victim to a crypto scam until I was convinced of a crypto investment scam that saw me lose all my entire assets worth $487,000 to a crypto investment manager who convinced me I could earn more from my investment. I thought it was all gone for good but I kept looking for ways to get back my stolen crypto assets and finally came across Superiro Hack Recovery, a crypto recovery/spying company that has been very successful in the recovery of crypto for many other victims of crypto scams and people who lost access to their crypto.

    My journey from victim to victor serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. To those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments, I offer this beacon of hope: recovery is possible, even when the odds seem insurmountable.In closing, I extend my heartfelMy recent encounter with SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY marks a pivotal chapter in my life, one fraught with deception, hope, and ultimately, redemption. It began with what seemed like a promising investment opportunity but quickly unraveled into a sophisticated scam that left me reeling. It all started innocuously enough on the Telegram app, where I was lured into investing in what purported to be stocks of tech giants like Amazon and Apple. The scammers convinced me to download MetaTrader and Trust Wallet, tools that seemed legitimate for managing investments and cryptocurrency transactions. Little did I know, these were mere props in an elaborate scheme designed to defraud unsuspecting investors like myself. Eager to capitalize on what appeared to be a lucrative venture, I began funding the trading app with substantial wire transfers, eventually amounting to over 180,000USD. Each transaction seemed to reinforce the illusion that my investments were thriving in the booming tech market. However, the truth was far more sinister. It wasn’t until I attempted to withdraw my supposed profits that I realized something was amiss. Communication from the scammers became sparse, and when I did manage to contact them, their promises grew increasingly hollow. It dawned on me then: I had fallen victim to a meticulously orchestrated scam, and my hard-earned money was now in the hands of faceless criminals. In a desperate bid for justice, I turned to the NYPD, armed with evidence of my transactions and a trail of deceit. However, after a month of investigation, their verdict was disheartening: crypto assets, once transferred, were virtually untraceable. I was devastated by the realization that traditional law enforcement channels seemed ill-equipped to tackle crimes of this nature.Despite the bleak prognosis, a glimmer of hope flickered within me. I refused to accept defeat and resolved to explore alternative avenues for recovery. It was during this exhaustive search that I stumbled upon SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY, a name that would soon restore my faith in the fight against cybercrime. With little to lose and everything to gain, I entrusted Cyber Tech Wizard with my case. Swiftly, they sprang into action, meticulously tracing the convoluted path of my funds across the digital ether. Their expertise and determination were evident as they navigated through the complexities of blockchain transactions and cryptocurrency protocols.In a remarkable turnaround, just 72 hours later, SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY delivered the news I had begun to believe was impossible: my funds were successfully retrieved and restored to my bank account. The sense of relief and vindication was overwhelming, contrasting starkly with the despair I had felt mere days before. My journey from victim to victor serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. To those who find themselves ensnared in similar predicaments, I offer this beacon of hope: recovery is possible, even when the odds seem insurmountable. In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY for their unwavering support and unwavering commitment to justice. They did not only restored my financial losses but also renewed my faith in the pursuit of justice in the digital age. To anyone navigating the aftermath of a scam, remember this: there are allies in the fight for restitution, and no setback is insurmountable with the right allies by your side. hire them to work for you if fallen vitim with the following information.
