Toner are one of my fave steps in my skincare routine. They add the extra something and always leave me feeling pampered and refreshed.
Making your own candles is a little bit more upfront, but you can make a lot more batches and customize each one to your specific preferences. Since you are buying in bulk, in the end you get a lot more bang for your buck. Which is awesome because a budget is a budget.
The best part of all in my opinion is you know exactly what’s in them. A lot of skincare companies intentionally don’t disclose what’s in their products- scents, colorants, preservatives, etc because they are terrible and toxic for you. That’s why you can have total peace of mind making your own!
These also make wonderful gifts for family and friends who are into natural beauty and skincare! If you know someone’s specific scent preferences you could handmake them the DIY beauty product of their dreams! How thoughtful.

- 1/2 cup of Witch Hazel
- 1 1/2 cup Water
- Cotton face pads
- 1 tablespoon of vitamin E oil
- 20-30 drops of your favorite essential oils for skincare, do your research folks! I personally have super dry skin, so these are my fave essential oils for that: Lavender essential oil, Geranium essential oil, Frankincense essential oil
- Glass measuring cup
- Mason jar (I personally feel like jam jars are best for this, the wide ones will allow for too much liquid!)
Benefits of Lavender essential oil for the skin:
Lavender essential oil is an adaptogen that is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-septic. Because of this, Lavender can help with acne, can soothe eczema and dry skin, lighten skin, and minimize wrinkles! Source.
Benefits of Geranium essential oil for the skin:
According to Healthline “A 2017 review of studiesTrusted Source on geranium essential oil indicated that its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties make it beneficial for reducing acne breakouts, skin irritation, and skin infections when applied topically.”
Benefits of Frankincense essential oil for the skin:
The Zoe Report put’s it better than I do, so I will just quote her article here. ““It has natural astringent properties,” Dr. Rita Linkner, a board-certified dermatologist with New York City’s Spring Street Dermatology, tells TZR; meaning it balances oil production while “tightening” the skin. “Frankincense benefits include the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elasticity, and defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes,” Dakar adds. Studies have shown frankincense to have anti-inflammatory and “tissue remodeling” properties, too.”

Instructions:

- Grab your mason jar and fill the jar halfway with the dry cotton pads.
- Pour the mixture over the cotton pads until it just covers and completely saturates the cotton pads.
- Fill the rest of the jar with dry cotton pads and push down until you can feel the dry cotton pads soaking up the liquid!
- Close up the mason jar and TA-DA! The liquid should evenly distribute throughout all of the cotton pads. Not too dry, not too wet!
