It’s a bonus week for Sundays Homemade! Now that you’ve brewed your own Herbal Floral Water, you’ve got a bi-product that shouldn’t be lost down the drain. Turn it into an all-natural, pH balancing facial toner that’s great for all skin types, especially combination and acne prone skin.
You’ll Need:
- 4 cup, seal-able container (I prefer a large mason jar)
- 2 cups reserved Herbal Floral Water (dark water)*
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 10 drops peppermint oil
*If you haven’t made the Herbal Floral Water and would like to make this toner: simmer herbs (see herbal floral water for suggested herbs) in distilled water for 1-2 hours, then follow the steps below.
- Strain the boiled herbs and their dark water through a fine-mesh strainer, lined with cheese cloth, into a large mason jar.
- Add the vinegar and peppermint oil, seal the jar and shake.
- After cleansing your face, apply toner and let dry before applying any lotions or creams.
I like to pour some of the final mixture into a container with a smaller opening than the mason jar, making it easier to wet a cloth or cotton pad, for application. The vinegar will act as a preservative, so the smaller batch does not need to be refrigerated; however, I do like to store the remaining mixture in the refrigerator.
