Cucumber juice is a natural astringent. For sore or tired eyes you can soak two cotton pads in this toner and place over your eyelids while you rest. It also makes a mild tonic for sunburned skin. Cucumber juice is very delicate and spoils easily, so it is recommended you store this toner in the refrigerator.
Mix all of the ingredients together. Pour into a clean bottle with a lid.
Apply to your face using a clean cotton ball.
Note: You may also want to filter this toner if you see solids settling in the bottom of your bottle.
