Skin tonic can be either bought from the market or prepared at home. For home made skin tonic take fifty gm.

In home made tonics marigold petals, take soak them in a half liter water in a stainless steel pot and warm it on heater. While using home made tonic Keep the flame low. Keep lid on the pot so that the steam does not escape. Now take pure wax, melt it and mix it with the mixture of marigold and heat it on a medium flame for half an hour. When the cream gets cold, fill it in a bottle and use cold cream.

This is your skin tonic. Cold cream is much in use during winter. For home made cold cream peel a cucumber and cut it into small pieces. Take four parts of almond oil, one part pure wax and put it on low heat. When the two get mixed completely then add pieces of cucumber and heat on a low flame for forty five minutes.

The cucumber pieces should be one fourth of the mixture. Stir slowly while heating . You may add a little perfume for fragrance.

skin is always exposed to heat, cold and other environmental changes, so it is very important to take care of it. In this article we have included various natural skin tonics for you that are homemade but are very useful to nourish your skin.

Skin tonics have two effects on your skin after cleansing.

• They remove the last trace of cleansing milk or cream.
• They help to restore the skin’s natural proactive mantle.

However oily your skin is, I would not recommend you to use skin tonic containing alcohol (often called astringent). I find these strips away the skin’s natural protective barrier and with prolonged use can sensitize the skin or cause irritation.

There are lots of commercially available skin tonics but below I have given some ideas for homemade skin tonics using beneficial aromatherapy oils. By the way rose water and orange flower water can be bought at most good chemists.

As with the cleansers the ratio is two drops of aromatherapy oil to fl oz (100 ml) of toner, either used singly or in combination.

For normal skin - Add lavender, rose or neroli to rosewater or orange flower water.

For oily skin - Add lemon, lavender, bergamot, juniper or ylang-ylang to which hazel.

For acne/ pimples - Add rose, ylang-ylang, geranium or camomile to rosewater.

For hyper-sensitive skin - Add camomile, neroli, jasmine or rose to orange flower water.
