If you're fond of making at home bath and spa treats for yourself or friends, you'll want to try this simple Apple Toner. Intended for slightly oily skins, we're told by our skincare team that Apple Toner is an excellent substitute for rubbing alcohol (a real no-no, as it actually stimulates the oil glands to produce more oil). Combine:

• 2/3 cup Witch Hazel
• 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
• several drops of Lavender (or essential oil of your choice).

Mix, and add to clean bottle. Shake bottle well before using, and then dampen a cotton ball or pad saturated with your toner, and swab over face. Witch Hazel is a gentle astringent, apple cider vinegar will help restore your skin's natural ph balance, and Lavender soothes sensitive skin.
