Homemade face toner

I have used so many face toners in my life, and it seemed all of them just irritated my skin. I have very sensitive skin, so alcohol in toner is not an option for me ... got so many allergies, break outs and I can go on and on ... Not so long ago I came across with this recipe for a face toner and decided to try it out. I feel in love with it, and haven't used any other face toner in a while. :)
Here is my little "secret".

Things needed:
- organic apple cider vinegar (ACD) - it must be organic one, because everything you put on your skin is absorbed, so it's the best to be the purest (I bought mine at DM)
- distilled water or bottled water
- and of course an empty container (I bought mine with a spray cap in Mueller)

I ran out of my ACD, that's why  picture is not taken by me :)

Pour the apple cider vinegar in a clean empty container till it's half full. Fill up the container with water, so you have a 1:1 mixture. Shake it a little and you are ready to use it.
Apple cider vinegar has so many health benefits: recommended for a weight loss, fights allergies, prevents muscle soreness, strenghtens your immune system ... and of course it cures skin problems such as acne.

I don't really have any acne, but from time to time I break out and it really frustrates me. Since I started using this toner on a daily basis, I found my skin much softer, I breakout less and even blackheads are less noticeable. ACD helps balance out PH levels of our skin. I'm not any kind of a skin doctor, so I don't know a lot how it works, I just know it works magic :)

I use it before going to bed, because the smell is not the nicest one, but you get used to it. I spray three to four pumps in to a cotton pad and gently wipe it all over my freshly washed face (no makeup!). I don't rinse it, I let it air dry and afterwards I apply my night cream. In the morning I wash my face very well to get rid of the smell. Otherwise you can smell it during the day. Been there :P.

Try it out and share your thoughts in a comment section :). I hope it helps!
Have a lovely day,

Lots of love,
xoxo Deja

  1. Če ne bi imel kis takšnega močnega vonja (mi je včasih kar slabo ko ga zavoham), bi poskusila tale toner, tako pa ga raje ne bom. :D
