5 natural homemade toners for dry and dull skin in winter

Are you experiencing dry and dull skin this winter? It means your skin is losing moisture quickly, leading to itchiness, scaly skin, tightness, dry patches, rashes, irritation, and more. If your usual moisturiser isn't helping, it's time to follow the CTM routine sincerely, i.e., cleanse, tone, and moisturise. However, for that, you’ll need products that moisturise the skin, not the other way around. This is possible if you use 5 natural homemade toners. Let’s see how to create these at home to tame dry and dull skin this winter.

Apple cider vinegar is considered one of the best natural skin toners for all skin types because it is rich in acid and swiftly balances the skin’s pH level. Thanks to its acetic acid-driven antimicrobial properties, it acts against acne-causing bacteria, exfoliates the skin, and regulates its pH level. Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with three parts water and store it in a container. Next, dampen a cotton ball and gently wipe it across your face. Add this mixture to a spray bottle and apply it today.

Rose water moisturises and soothes the skin while balancing pH levels, making it perfect for dry skin. It has antioxidant-driven anti-inflammatory effects that soothe the skin and provide a hint of calming sensation. Blend 40 ml of rose water with 5 ml of glycerin and store it in a container. Apply it to your clean skin with a cotton ball, and prefer to use plain rose water throughout the day.

Cucumbers are known for their cooling and moisturising properties. They also treat sunburn and are considered for their skin-conditioning values. From hydrating to soothing the skin, cucumber water toner can easily be made at home. Just grate two cucumber slices and drain the juice. Transfer the extract to a container and store it in the fridge. Next, apply it with a cotton ball whenever required to get a supple finish. You can also add honey for extra benefits.

Green tea is a refreshing ingredient with toning properties and antibacterial properties as well, making it an excellent choice for moisturisation all year round. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and photoprotective effects on the skin, which help protect against the UV-induced oxidative stress and skin damage. You need to simply boil 2 cups of water, add two green tea bags, and let them steep for 20 minutes. Now, let the tea cool down and transfer it to a bottle. Store it in your fridge and apply it with a cotton ball all over your face.

Honey is an excellent humectant which thoroughly moisturises the skin. Mint, on the other hand, refreshes it and minimises the overall appearance of pores. It also fights off bacteria and acts perfectly on dry skin. This combination soothes skin irritation, acts as a calming agent, and protects our skin from bacteria. Once the mint leaves are boiled, strain them and opt for a clear liquid. Stir this and add honey. Now, let the mixture cool down and apply it to your skin.
