Why use a toner for skin?
Before we get into how to make the minty skin toner, let’s first talk about why you would want to use a toner. Each day when you clean your face, most people use warm water. This is good because it opens up the pores and allows you to deep clean your skin. But, after cleansing, it’s always a good idea to splash something cool over your face to close those pores back up. This is generally the step that most people skip.
