Posted on by Lyn

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.

DIY Face Toner For Mature Skin

Posted on by Lyn

The DIY face toner for mature skin is a lovely smelling hydrating facial astringent formulated for mature skin. Like the DIY face wash for mature skin, it is designed to address common concerns with maturing skin. Therefore, this DIY face toner for mature skin (1) moisturizes, (2) contains natural antioxidants, and (3) has skin rejuvenating properties.

DIY Face Toner For Mature Skin

Ingredients

After washing your face with the DIY face wash for mature skin, you can apply the DIY face toner for mature skin. The toner is then followed up with the DIY face serum for mature skin. The ingredients used to prepare this lovely DIY face toner for mature skin are distilled water, witch hazel, essential oils, and vitamin E oil.

1. Distilled Water

Distilled water is used to provide a clean solution for you to start making the toner. Faucet water is a no-no. Once you have the needed amount of distilled water, you can add the remaining all natural ingredients for this DIY face toner for mature skin. In warmer climates, the DIY face toner for mature skin should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. When needed, you can pull out the toner for a refreshing mist during your DIY skin care routine.

2. Witch Hazel

The witch hazel is an all-natural antiseptic commonly used on the skin. It helps to pull the skin tighter and assists with blending the oil and water together. However, it is not an emulsifier, therefore the DIY face toner for mature skin should still be shaken before each use.

3. Rosemary

Rosemary essential oil has potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants combat free radicals that naturally occur in the body that causes the skin to age. Therefore, rosemary essential oil is incorporated into the DIY face wash for mature skin to help combat free radicals. However, rosemary essential oil also naturally increases the blood flow in the skin and brain. This increase in blood flow improves the appearance of the skin and makes us mentally more attentive, alert, and energetic. When we feel good, we often look good. So, the rosemary essential oil is a triple win. On top of that, it is also a pain reliever and a stress reliever – which are both things that can make us visibly age faster. So, the rosemary essential oil is a really wonderful addition to this DIY face wash for mature skin!

*Rosemary essential oil is not really an oil. Therefore, it will not stay blended like other essential oils. Simply shake or stir your liquid DIY products that include rosemary oil before using.

4. Ylang Ylang

The ylang ylang essential oil provides skin hydrating properties for this DIY face toner for mature skin. It not only smells wonderful and lifts your mood, but it can also naturally increase oil production in the skin. So, it rejuvenates your skin and your mind. Research indicates that this can in turn lower blood pressure and decrease elevated heart rates. So, the ylang ylang is another multi-winner addition to the DIY face toner for mature skin.

Vitamin E Oil

The vitamin E oil is an all-natural preservative. As an antioxidant, it can provide additional free radical fighting anti-aging skin care benefits. Therefore, it is another really good ingredient to use in the DIY face toner for mature skin.

DIY Toner for Acne Prone Skin

Posted on by Lyn

This is a simple, yet effective DIY toner for acne prone skin. When struggling with acne, some of the hardest things to avoid doing include (1) washing your face too often, (2) washing your face with soaps that are too strong, and then (3) using a toner that is too strong!

What Not to Do –

While there are many factors that can contribute to acne prone skin, washing your face too often can thin the skin and dry the skin out too much. Thin and dry skin will often result in small skin tears in the face that can lead to more pain and inflammation in the skin as the sebaceous oil glands produce even more oil. The same is true when washing your face with really strong soap or using a toner that is too strong. While it may seem like a good idea at first, strong soaps and strong toners can dry the skin out too much. This too will increase inflammation and oil production in acne prone skin and ultimately subtract from your overall skin complexion.

Things You Can Do +

This DIY toner for acne prone skin is all natural and gentle on the skin. When dealing with acne, your skin care products can definitely play a huge role in resolving blemishes. However, two additional factors that can play a role in acne prone skin are (1) your hormones and (2) your diet. One of the best supplements for supporting hormone balance for men and women is maca root powder. Regarding your diet, a diet that is high in sugar promotes the growth of bacteria, viruses, and yeast that can make acne worse. Eating a healthy low carb, high protein diet with plenty of leafy green vegetables and taking vitamin C supplements can reduce inflammation and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

About The Ingredients

With all of that said, let’s talk about the simple DIY toner for acne prone skin! It is a refreshing DIY toner that should be kept in the refrigerator. This DIY toner for acne prone skin is made with distilled water, witch hazel, orange essential oil, and vitamin E oil.

  • Distilled Water – A distilled water is a type of purified water that can be used to make your DIY toner. It has been boiled to separate the impurities from the water [0].
  • Witch Hazel – This solution is used to treat itching, minor irritations and pain that can be caused by acne. It is an astringent that can help tighten the skin [0].
  • Orange Essential Oil – This essential oil is an excellent choice for a DIY toner for acne prone skin. Just the smell alone can uplift your mood, clean the air, and boost your immune system. When applied to the skin, it has antioxidant, antibacterial, and astringent properties that can reduce inflammation and pain [0]. If you spend a lot of time outside in the sun, you should substitute the orange essential oil for the tea tree essential oil instead.
  • Vitamin E Oil – The vitamin E oil is an all-natural preservative that can help keep your DIY toner for acne prone skin fresh while it’s hanging out in the refrigerator.

DIY TONER FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Instructions:

  1. Fill the bottle with the needed distilled water and witch hazel.
  2. Add the orange essential oil and vitamin E oil.
  3. Place the cap on the spray bottle.
  4. Give the bottle a few quick shakes and that is it.
