Juiced cucumbers tighten the skin in this homemade toner.
Making your own facial products saves money and keeps artificial ingredients away from your skin. Green tea and cucumber are common ingredients in commercial toners. Both of these ingredients tighten the skin, making it appear younger. Use this toner anytime you need a facial "pick me up."
Instructions
1. Remove the boiling water from the heat and add the tea bag. Cover the pot and let it steep for five minutes.
2. Discard the green tea bag and refrigerate the tea concentrate for two hours, or until chilled.
3. Pour the tea concentrate into the jar of a blender. Add the cucumber and witch hazel.
4. Puree the mixture on low speed.
5. Filter the solids from the toner by pouring the blended mixture through a cheesecloth-lined colander set over a jar.
6. Refrigerate the toner for two hours or until chilled. Store the toner in the refrigerator for up to one week.
7. Apply the toner to your face with a cotton ball as needed for tightening the skin.
