Are you prone to oily skin? Perhaps you are prone to frequent breakouts? I am middle-aged and I still get pimple attacks with blackheads. Well, tea tree toner works wonders on my skin. It’s packed with natural tea tree oil
, which has antibacterial properties that destroy acne-causing bacteria, and it has witch hazel in it. Witch hazel is an antiseptic that naturally tones and soothes skin.
“Within weeks, this toner can help clear up problematic, acne-prone skin;” so claims Janice Cox, author of the book, Eco Beauty. Below is a do it yourself recipe for you to make your own effective herbal toner. It is simple and very easy to make. This is what you will need:
- one-fourth cup distilled water
- one-fourth cup witch hazel
- one teaspoon tea tree oil
Pour all ingredients into a clean bottle with a tight-fitting lid. (You can find plastic bottles in dollar stores and in pharmacies). Shake to mix. Apply to a clean face with a cotton ball. This home-made solution stays good for two weeks. Keep your toner in the refrigerator so the liquid feels cool and refreshing on your skin. Ah, it feels so good and it works too!
