Easy DIY Facial Cleanser and Toner

Facial Cleanser
-2 Tablespoons of (vegetable) Glycerin
-1/2 Teaspoon of Castile Soap
-2 drops of Tea Tree Oil
-2 drops of Chamomile Oil
-1 drop of Lavender Oil

This recipe doesn't dry out my skin, and leaves me feeling soft and clean.

Facial Toner
There are a lot of options for easy to make toners.

-You can use Apple Cider Vinegar cut with water. I tried this, and the upside is that it left me feeling clean and tingly. The downside is that my partner couldn't stand the smell of my face, because you smell like Apple Cider Vinegar which isn't the best smelling thing in the world.

-You can use Chamomile Tea with a couple drops of tea tree. Chamomile is anti-bacterial, antiseptic, and a mild anti-inflammatory (good for soothing those red irritated or inflamed pimples).

-You can use Rosewater, how can generations of old ladies in so many different countries be wrong!? Rosewater tones your skin, helps to close your pores, gently removes oil and dirt, and soothes your skin. And who doesn't like to apply something that smells so good..?

Like most products you put on your face, you should try it out on a small patch first before you go ahead and do your whole face.
