5 Homemade Skin Toners for Glowing Skin, Acne & Dark Spots

 

 

What you’ll need:

  • 1 medium potato

  • ½ to 1 cup water

How to prepare:

  1. Peel and chop the potato into chunks.

  2. Blend with water and strain to extract the juice.

  3. Pour into a clean spray bottle and store in the fridge.

How to use:
Apply gently on clean skin using a cotton ball or pad, especially on areas with dark patches or blemishes.

Why it works:

  • Contains catecholase enzymes that lighten pigmentation and dark spots.

  • Boosts skin elasticity and smooths out fine lines.

  • Brightens uneven skin tone naturally without bleaching agents.


4. Rose Water Toner

What you’ll need:

  • 1–2 cups fresh rose petals (organic)

  • Enough distilled water to cover the petals

How to prepare:

  1. Gently rinse petals and place them in a pot.

  2. Add water just enough to submerge the petals.

  3. Cover and simmer on low heat until petals lose their color.

  4. Let cool, strain, and pour into a spray bottle.

How to use:
Spray on face multiple times a day or use after cleansing as a gentle pH-balancing toner.

Why it works:

  • Hydrates and tones without stripping natural oils.

  • Cools and calms sensitive or inflamed skin.

  • Acts as a mild astringent to balance oil production.


5. Green Tea Toner

What you’ll need:

  • 1 green tea bag or 1 tsp loose green tea

  • 1 cup hot water

  • 1 tbsp rose water (optional)

  • 2–3 drops lemon essential oil (for oily skin only)

How to prepare:

  1. Steep green tea in hot water for 5 minutes, then let cool.

  2. Mix in rose water and lemon essential oil (if using).

  3. Store in a spray bottle and refrigerate for extended shelf life.

How to use:
Spray liberally on face and neck after cleansing. Best used twice daily for acne-prone or oily skin.

Why it works:

  • Catechins fight acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

  • Tightens large pores and regulates oil.

  • Slows early signs of aging like fine lines and loss of firmness.
