Use a Grapefruit Toner to Make Your Skin Look Great
If you have oily skin, or if your skin looks dull after you wash it no matter what you wash it with, a grapefruit toner is an easy and cheap way to get a natural healthy glow and restore the balance of your skin. Homemade beauty products are great for skin, and homemade products that use fresh grapefruit juice can fight aging as well as some expensive store products. Grapefruit juice is full of antioxidants, which fight free radicals on the surface of the skin as well as inside your body. Free radicals can make fine lines and wrinkles worse and can make your skin look dull but using a grapefruit juice toner will give your skin a beautiful healthy look. Once you see how easy it is to make your grapefruit toner you'll never use a pricey store toner again. All you need to do to make your own fresh citrus fruit toner is:
Get some witch hazel. This can be found at any drugstore, and usually costs about one dollar. You don't need much, so you can re-use the bottle for several months. Once you get the witch hazel you will need to find a small plastic bottle. Travel size plastic bottles are perfect, and can be found at the drugstore or discount store for super cheap. Buy a few, because you can use them for lots of homemade bath and body goodies. If you don't want to use witch hazel because you have sensitive skin try using rosewater instead, but make sure it's just rosewater not rosewater mixed with glycerin. Glycerin will make your skin even more oily and can cause oil buildup on your skin.
After you have the witch hazel and the container you'll need some fresh grapefruit juice. If you want to use a toner with a really citrus smell combine some orange juice and grapefruit juice. Fill the container about halfway with juice, and then fill it the rest of the way with witch hazel. You can also use rosewater if the witch hazel is too astringent for you. Mix thoroughly, and apply with a cotton ball after you wash your face. You will notice that your skin will look rosier and healthier, and wrinkles and blemishes will be less noticeable. If you have oily skin you'll notice that after about a week of using the grapefruit toner your skin isn't as oily.
