It is likely you have seen expensive facial toner brands at department stores and wished you could afford it. The good news is, there are a lot of homemade facial toners just as effective as those expensive brands at the makeup counters.

Because the toner you will create is homemade, you can play around a bit and actually add any mixture of herbs you like. Also, the amount of vinegar to water is adjustable. Apple cider vinegar makes a bracing and very effective homemade beauty product that many people like to use.

Before you get started, you will need a Mason jar, one cup of biodynamic apple cider vinegar, a handful of dried herbs, one pint of distilled water, a strainer and a decorative container with a lid.

Step 1: Place the dried herbs in the bottom of the Mason jar. You can take just a few of the herbs or all of them, but if this is your first time making facial toner, it is best to use moderation.

Step 2: Warm up the vinegar and pour it over the herbs. You may warm the vinegar over the stove or in the microwave. It does not need to get real hot, but should be fairly warm.

Step 3: This is a long step, but do not touch this mixture for two whole weeks. The best place to keep it is in the refrigerator in order to ensure that the ingredients inside the jar do not spoil. Spoilage will require you to begin the process all over again. Putting spoiled product on your face could cause more harm than good.

Step 4: Now, pour the distilled water into a decorative container. Obviously this step is not an absolute must, but it still is a nice idea. By putting the mixture in an attractive container it will feel more natural when you put it on your face than it would if you simply stored it in a plastic bag or something blah.

Step 5: Remove the Mason jar and its contents from the refrigerator. Strain the herbs from the vinegar. After the herbs have been strained add two full tablespoons of the herby vinegar to the distilled water in the decorative container. After this you need to shake the mixture gently in order to be able to properly mix the vinegar and the water.

Step 6: After cleansing, wipe your face with a toner-soaked cotton ball. The cotton will allow you to remove excess, but will also help rub some of the mixture in.

Perhaps the most important thing to remember in this whole process is the vital need to dilute the vinegar before you put it on your skin. Non-diluted vinegar is much too harsh to use directly on skin and could cause damage.

After completing these steps, you will see that you indeed can have a facial toner that works great, even though you paid almost nothing for it.
