Homemade Facial Toner DIY Recipe
I start making my homemade facial toner DIY recipe as the furnace starts coming on more in my home. I’m reminded that I need to pay more attention to my skin.
The air is drier and I lose some of the moisture in my skin. If I’m not careful, my skin will start to look dull. Apple cider vinegar can help bring back that glow.

When used correctly, a facial toner can remove excess oils and dead skin cells from your skin. Using a toner as part of your beauty routine is vital but is something that many women forget to do.
How to use toner
After you wash your face, you should follow with a toner to remove any excess oil or dirt that your cleanser missed. After you use the toner, you should follow with a moisturizer to return healthy moisture to your skin.
Apple cider vinegar helps heal a variety of skin ailments, from bug bites to poison ivy to sunburn.
The exact measurements will depend on the size of the glass jar you use. Do not store this in plastic as the apple cider vinegar could damage the plastic.
Use one part apple cider vinegar to four parts distilled water. So 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar for one cup of distilled water.
Can I add essential oils to toner?
Then add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice. Lavender, peppermint and tea tree oil are all good choices.
When you’re ready to use it, simply dip a cotton ball in the solution and smooth it over your skin. Refrigerate when not in use.
