MINT TONER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 30 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES

Mint stimulates circulation, and aloe vera soothes and repairs. This toner is a

perfect pick-me-up, and it’s especially good for healing blemishes. However, if

you struggle with rosacea, this is not the toner for you, as mint can increase

redness.

FOR TEA:

1 cup distilled water

1 bag mint tea

1 teaspoon dried or fresh rosemary

FOR TONER:

½ tablespoon aloe vera juice

¼ cup witch hazel hydrosol

¼ cup of prepared tea

3. Using a funnel, transfer to an airtight container.

TO USE: Lightly moisten a cotton round and wipe over your face and neck, or spray on using a mister

bottle.

DID YOU KNOW?

Aloe comes in several forms; the recipes in this blog leave a variety of them, from juice, to gel, to jelly.

They are all a bit different in consistency, and if you use the wrong one, it will affect the outcome of your

product—however, it will not affect the benefits of the product. If you only buy aloe in one form (juice is

the most common), be aware that recipes that call for jelly will be a bit runny, but usable.
