Toning your skin - tips and hints.
Steam your clean face and open up the
pores. Boil 1 litre of water. Place it in a
heat-proof bowl with some herbs. Place
your head, covered with a towel, over the bowl
and steam your face for 5 - 10 minutes.
Splash cool water over your face and pat dry.
Whisk one egg white till fluffy. Add one
teaspoon each of runny honey and lemon juice and
whisk again. Leave on your face for 10
minutes and then rinse off with warm water.
For large pores try tomato pulp laid on your
face. Leave on for a few minutes and then
rinse well.
Similarly you can dab tomato juice on your face.
Rinse well.
For drier skin use rose water as a toner.
For oily skin use Witch Hazel as a toner.
Chop one tablespoons of mint and add it to two
tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Stand
for a few hours and then add a cup of water.
Apply to the face with cotton balls. Keep
this solution in the fridge.
Boil two cups of mint leaves in one cup of
water. Strain and apply to your face with
cotton balls.
To one cup of mineral water add the juice of one
medium sized cucumber. Apply this toner
with a cotton ball. Keep in the
refrigerator. This cooling mixture can be
used to freshen up your face throughout the day.
Toner should be applied with cotton balls and
gently wiped over your skin in upward
directions.
Toner should only be applied after you have
cleaned your face - do not substitute it for a
cleanser.
