How to Make 3 Wonderfully Easy Winter Skin TonersWritten by Danielle Sims
Cold weather is on its way and winter season is just around corner. What does this mean to your skin? Cold weather can be damaging to your skin. If your face is not properly protected, it can dry out, crack, and wrinkle! It is imperative to have a good moisturizer. But do we need a toner too?For years I concentrated on cleansers and moisturizers, neglecting toners. The only time a toner was used was when I purchased a complete skin care regimen set that contained a toner at department store. When I began to make my own skin care products, I was concerned mainly with lotions and moisturizers. I finally began to realize that a toner has many benefits that I was missing out on by not including it in my daily skincare program: oRemoves traces of cleanser that was left behind after cleansing oHelp restore your skin to its nature acid PH oRefresh your skin throughout day oSet make up oAdds additional moisture oConditions skin One thing to remember is to keep it simple. Prepare a toner that can be used for both a toner and a refresher. Before you make your toner, be sure to have bottle available for storage. A good choice is a spray bottle, so you can use your toner as a refresher throughout day. Be sure to store your toner in a cool place, refrigerator is ideal. You may use a cotton ball to apply your toner after cleansing and also spritz throughout day.
