Homemade Vitamin C Toner Recipe

You will need:

• 1 chopped orange peel
• A handful of fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup of water
• Lemon essential oil (optional)

How to make and use:

1. Boil 1 cup of water for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
2. Add the orange peels and mint leaves to the water, covering it with a lid.
3. Let it steep for 2 hours to allow the water to absorb the nutrients from the orange peels and mint leaves.
4. After 2 hours, strain the water to remove the peels and mint leaves. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil and stir well.
5. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and seal it tightly. Shake before each use.
6. Store the toner in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

How to Use: Spray the toner 2-3 times a day after cleansing your face. For an extra refreshing feel, keep the toner in the fridge and spray it on your face for an instant pick-me-up.

Benefits of Orange Peel for Skin:

• Controls Excess Oil: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, orange peel absorbs excess oil, removes dirt, dead skin cells, and grease, leaving your skin clear and oil-free.
• Shrinks Large Pores: Orange peel cleanses deeply, unclogs pores, and helps shrink them, revealing smooth, glowing skin.
• Skin Tightening: By removing excess oil, dirt, and shrinking pores, orange peel helps tighten and firm your skin for a youthful appearance.
• Treats Acne: The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of orange peel help reduce acne, pimples, and breakouts while preventing blackheads and whiteheads.
• Skin Brightening: With more vitamin C than the fruit itself, orange peel brightens and clears your skin, leaving it radiant with regular use.
• Clears Blemishes and Dark Spots: Orange peel acts as a natural skin lightener, fading dark spots, acne marks, and pigmentation, leaving your complexion flawless and even.
