Green Tea Toner

Women often leave toner out of their beauty routine, but many estheticians swear by its ability to balance the pH of the skin and remove any residue left by cleansers. If you are looking for an easy, affordable way to try it out, try this refreshing two-ingredient version made with one of nature’s best antioxidants: green tea. The best part is that this alternative is safe for all skin types. Apply this mixture in the morning after your cleanser and before moisturizing, and then reapply throughout the day for a skin boost. The tea’s polyphenols help fight free radicals and inflammation, and studies have shown that when applied to the skin, green tea helps protect against sun damage.
