DIY Vitamin C Toner

This DIY vitamin c toner recipe is an easy DIY face toner for mature skin. It should be the second step in your DIY face care routine. You will notice that this post and recipe complements what has been shared for the DIY vitamin c face wash and the DIY vitamin c face serum. So, let’s get started with this easy to make DIY face toner.

Ingredients

The DIY vitamin c toner recipe is prepared with water, witch hazel, essential oils, and vitamin C.

1. Water

The DIY face toner recipes include distilled water as one of the ingredients. Distilled water is used because it has been processed in such a way that the contaminants have been removed. This is not the case with faucet water. Therefore, faucet water should not be used in your DIY skin care products.

2. Witch Hazel

This liquid solution is a very popular astringent. It assists with toning and cleaning the face after you have washed and rinsed the DIY vitamin c face wash from the skin. Witch hazel can also help to shrink the pores on your face while tightening the skin.

3. Essential Oils

This DIY vitamin c toner recipe is prepared with rosemary essential oil and ylang ylang essential oil. Both are essential oils that are beneficial for promoting youthful looking skin. Rosemary essential oil is powerful antioxidant that can penetrate the skin and help to eliminate free radicals. Ylang ylang essential oil is a moisture balance restoring oil. Therefore, it can assist with giving your skin a healthy natural glow. The DIY face toner for mature skin goes into more detail about these two essential oils.

4. Vitamin C

A vitamin c powder is used in this DIY vitamin c toner recipe. Vitamin C is a powerful free radical scavenger. As the body carries out normal body functions on a cellular level, free radicals are naturally generated. If allowed to accumulate, they can make the appearance of the skin look aged. Vitamin C gets rid of free radicals and therefore helps with the appearance of the skin. Another very powerful way in which vitamin c helps the skin is in collagen production. Collagen production is limited in part to the amount of vitamin C available. However, with all that said, what was stated for the DIY vitamin c face serum and DIY vitamin c face wash applies here too. Research indicates that vitamin c can provide the most benefit for the skin when it is taken orally. Therefore, a very simple oral vitamin c skin care recipe is shared below in this post as well. If you are using the entire vitamin c skin care routine, you can just drink the recipe once. You do not have to drink the vitamin c with every step of your face care routine.
