How to Create a Cucumber and Honey Toner

Who would have thought that the combination of cucumber and honey would create a powerful beauty combination? Cucumber has nourishing and hydrating properties. Honey has been an ancient beauty secret since the days of Cleopatra. The sun and harsh weather can do some damage to your skin. Combine these all-natural ingredients, and create a cucumber and honey toner that can tighten your pores and help your face return to its normal pH level.

Things You'll Need

• 1 Cucumber
• 2 tsp Honey
• Peeler
• Knife
• Chopping board
• Cheesecloth
• Sieve
• Blender
• Glass bowl
• Spoon
• Container

Instructions

1. Peel your cucumber. You can use a peeler or a knife. Then, cut the cucumber into small pieces.

2. Puree the cucumber in blender. Blend until it becomes a pasty mixture.

3. Line your sieve with a cheesecloth. This combination will act as a strainer.

4. Set the sieve over a glass container. You can set the sieve over a clear measuring cup or a glass bowl.

5. Pour the blended cucumber through the sieve. Let the blended cucumber stand for 15 minutes in order to allow the cucumber juice to drip into the glass container.

6. Pour the juice into a container and add the honey. Scoop two teaspoons of honey in and mix with a spoon.

Tips & Warnings

• Toss this mixture in two days or less. Organic skin care tends to spoil quicker than over-the-counter beauty products. Just like vegetables, the fresher, the better.
