The Best Homemade Facial Toner for Oily Skin
Oily skin has specific characteristics such as excess sebum, a shiny T-zone, open pores, sensitivity and is prone to blackheads and spots. Oily skin needs a particular type of facial cleanser that incorporates gel as well as an astringent toner to remove excess oil, close the pores and allow the skin to breathe. Natural products are often the best allies for skin care and we want to show you how to make the best homemade facial toner for oily skin. This is a great option for making your face look more healthy and radiant.
Steps to follow:
Lemon and kiwi toner.Both fruits have astringent and cleansing qualities which are ideal for reducing excess facial oil, leaving it free from impurities. You just need to mash up half a kiwi, squeeze the juice from half a lemon and mix the two ingredients together. Leave this liquid to cool in the refrigerator and apply it onto your clean face with a cotton pad.
Cucumber and green tea toner.Cucumbers are an astringent food and a perfect natural remedy for reducing oiliness and avoiding the appearance of spots. Green tea offers an antibacterial action which is very beneficial for acne, as well as removing blackheads and toxins that accumulate on facial skin.
To prepare this homemade skin toner for oily skin, you need a green teabag and half a cucumber. First, peel the cucumber, mash it and blend it with the green tea liquid. Leave the mixture in the refrigerator for five days and apply it onto your skin at night. You'll see how your skin is renewed and free from grease.
Milk of magnesia toner. Milk of magnesia is a watery-white liquid known for fighting greasy facial skin. It gives the skin a matte effect and prevents the formation of shine throughout the day. It also prevents pores from clogging, so prevents blackheads from appearing. To check out the results, mix one cup of milk of magnesia with 1/4 cup of water, moisten a cotton pad with the liquid and pass it over the T-zone (forehead, cheeks and chin) area. Leave it to work for 10 to 15 minutes and then it's done!
Rosemary and sage toner.Therapeutic plants also have astringent properties that are excellent for oily skin treatment such as rosemary and sage. First prepare an infusion of rosemary and sage by using 3 tablespoons each of these herbs, strain the tea and add a pint of water. Once you've made the mixture, keep it in a jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator until it's very cold. Then you can use it as a facial toner.
Aloe vera and lemon toner We've already explained the amazing effects of lemon on oily skin. If you combine it with aloe vera, you get a spectacular homemade facial toner that not only unclogs pores and controls excessive production of sebaceous glands, but also regenerates damaged skin tissue and prevents all kinds of impurities. Do you want to try it? Just mix two tablespoons of the flesh or aloe vera gel with the juice of half a lemon and apply it gently onto the face. No need to rinse it, leave it to dry by itself and the results will surprise you.
