A toner is a wonderful addition to a face care routine. Spritzing the skin with liquid before applying lotion helps greatly with hydration. Let’s make a toner and you’ll see what I mean.
We’ll use a base of Rose Hydrosol for its excellent hydration properties. Witch Hazel is an astringent which helps tighten pores and refreshes the skin. It can be found at any drug store. Rounding out the formula are Glycerin as a humectant to draw water to the skin, Ivy Extract to combat blotchiness, and Polysorbate 80 as a light emulsifier to keep the ingredients cohesive.
