I was wondering, would you could post the recipe you're using for your ACV toner? Proportions of water to ACV, etc.?

TIA, Sheba

Certainly!

Originally I used only distilled water and ACV. That was 2oz of water with 1 tsp of ACV.

Later I played with it, adding ingredients that were recommended for dry skin, basing it on similar recipes I had seen. That was:

1 oz rosewater
1 oz distilled water (this would have been all rosewater, but I must be the only person on the planet who isn't wild about the scent of roses. :rolleyes:)
2 drops sandalwood eo
1 drop palmarosa eo

This worked pretty well, although I was iffy on the scent. I think I like the scent of palmarosa even less than roses (so together, well, you know....). And I noticed in the warmer weather that the mixture started to get cloudy before I finished with it, so I pitched it.

I just recently decided that I preferred the simple distilled water/ACV recipe, so I'm going back to that.

HTH! :D

ACK! There should be 1 tsp ACV in this.....I was actually up last night wondering if I forgot to write that. :ponder: YEESH!

Sorry! :oops:
