DIY Vitamin C Toner for Glowing Skin: A Natural Recipe

Papia's natural glow toner is a simple yet effective Ayurvedic beauty ritual that harnesses the power of fresh orange peels and rose petals to give you a refreshed and glowing complexion.

Ingredients:

Fresh orange peels (from 1-2 oranges)
Rose petals (2 tablespoons)
Distilled water (1 cup)

How to Prepare the Toner:

• Boil 1 cup of distilled water in a pan.
• Add orange peels and rose petals to the water.
• Reduce the heat to low flame and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• Cover the pan to prevent the steam (and nutrients) from escaping.
• Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then strain it into a clean bowl or jar.

Storing the Toner:

• Pour the toner into a sterilized spray bottle or jar.
• Store it in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days to keep it fresh.

How to Use:

Apply the toner to cleansed face with a cotton pad or spritz it directly onto skin.
Use it morning and evening for a natural glow and refreshed skin.

Benefits of the Toner:

• Orange peels have natural astringent and antiseptic properties that help to balance the skin's pH and reduce acne.
• Rose petals have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help to soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and irritation.
• The toner helps to tighten pores, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give the skin a natural glow.

Tips and Variations:

• You can customize the toner to suit your skin type by adjusting the amount of rose petals or adding other herbs like lavender or chamomile.
• Use the toner as a refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and balanced.
• By incorporating this natural glow toner into your skincare routine, you can experience the benefits of Ayurvedic beauty rituals and achieve a radiant and healthy complexion.
