PREPARE YOUR OWN SKIN TONER.

A skin toner helps you in many ways. It helps in closing the pores in your skin. When the pores are closed your skin does not absorb the makeup which you apply. People having excessive oily skin should use a toner as it helps to dry out the extra oil making your skin looking beautiful. We often use products to finish off the skin care part. A home made skin toner helps you maintain the pH of your skin which we often lose due to rough care. Artificial products harms your skin. It’s always best to use a home made skin care product with ingredients available right in your kitchen!
