"Do you like to make your own at home skin care products? My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley Skin Solutions and I'm going to show you how to make your own facial toner. This is an excellent toner and I like to use fresh herbs; rosemary from my Mama's garden, smells delicious. And I'm just going to squeeze them a little bit so you can get all those essential oils out and get them working and I'm going to put it in this little jar, you can use a mason jar too is great. Whatever kind of fresh herbs you have, you can use those. Like if you have lavender, that's great too. I'm also going to use a little tea bag. It's got chamomile, it has lavender and it has licorice in it. So if you have something like that, that's an excellent way to do it too. So I'm just going to stuff that in my jar. I have some vinegar that I've heated up. I've heated this up for about forty five seconds so it's a little bit steamy; if you can see the steam working there and I'm going to pour it over my little concoction here, let it steep a little bit. You want to actually let this sit for about two weeks and it's going to be really ripe and ready to go. So while its doing that, you want to leave it in the refrigerator, let it sit for two weeks. When it's done after that two weeks, you want to have yourself a bottle; I just have a small bottle today; but you can definitely use a larger bottle. You can get those at craft stores and you want to strain out the herbs and add your vinegar to your distilled water. It's that simple. We're just going to pour it in there. This is an excellent refining and refreshing toner. The vinegar definitely has skin enhancing qualities. Put it in there, shake it up, smells delicious and you can either spritz it on your face or you can put some, have some cotton swabs, cotton ball; a little, I have little cotton aesthetic pads and swipe them over your face very gently and you're going to feel fresher and brighter and younger. My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley Skin Solutions and that is how you make an at home facial toner."
