After-Shower Body Toner Recipe

Many of us remember to use facial toners as part of our daily skin care routines, but what about the rest of our body? Wouldn't the skin on our arms, legs, and torso appreciate the same care as our pampered faces? The answer is a resounding yes!

When I first started using an after-shower body toner, I was amazed by the results! It really helped with hydration and pH balancing, and even my moisturizer worked better! As a person prone to dry skin, this was a massive win! And the best part- this extra step doesn't even add much time. I like to make my homemade body toner with skin-loving ingredients that also smell amazing for added aromatherapy qualities. 

This simple, yet highly effective recipe artfully combines the aromatic and therapeutic properties of ylang ylang, rose, calendula, and sweetgrass hydrosols, paired with just the right amount of vegetable glycerin. This blend works synergistically to leave your skin feeling deeply rejuvenated, balanced, and hydrated. This homemade body spray not only helps to tone the skin and balance the skin's pH levels, but also brings a calming and refreshing fragrance, transforming your post-shower experience into a luxurious self-care retreat.
