FACIAL TONERS

Should you use a toner?

Some people swear by toners, but many beauty experts do not. Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. I firmly believe it's up to you. If you like the way your skin feels with a toner. Use it. Enjoy it.

2 tsp of powdered green tea

1/2 of boiling water

2- PEPPERMINT FACIAL TONER

1 peppermint tea bag

1/4 cup witch hazel

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
