Cucumber Toner

Cucumbers have the same pH as the skin, and its juice is very softening and emollient. Carrots are rich in vitamin A and minerals that nourish and heal the skin, helping to keep it from aging. The herb spearmint stimulates and cleanses the skin with its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and chamomile is not only rich in minerals, but helps prevent wrinkles, is moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory. Add a little lemon juice, and you are set.
A good time to make this toner is when the harvest is bountiful. If you don't own a juicer, borrow one to make large batches. You can also make just a week's worth of this toner at a time.
