Homemade Glow Tonic Fo Radiant Skin

A few months ago, a friend gifted me a Vitamin C skin tonic. While it was effective, the cost was prohibitive. This inspired me to recreate the tonic using common kitchen ingredients. The result was a tonic that surpassed the store-bought version in both effectiveness and freshness.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps combat free radicals, promotes collagen production, and brightens the skin. For this recipe, I chose orange, papaya, and tomato due to their high Vitamin C content. Fresh extracts from these fruits provide unmatched benefits that no store-bought product can rival.

Ingredients:

• 2 tomatoes
• 1 small piece of ripe papaya
• 1 orange
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon of vegetable glycerin (adjust based on your skin type)

Instructions:

1. Wash and cut the tomatoes and papaya into small pieces. Place them in a mortar and pestle.
2. Cut the orange and squeeze the juice into the mortar. Do not discard the peel; it can be used to make a homemade cleaner.
3. Pound the ingredients well to get a smooth paste.
4. Transfer the paste to a strainer and strain to get a smooth skin tonic.
5. Add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of vegetable glycerin to the tonic, depending on your skin type.
6. Pour the tonic into a bottle and store it in the fridge. It will last for 4-5 days.

Application:

• Apply the tonic all over your face, including under the eyes.
• You can leave it on overnight or apply it half an hour before bathing and wash it off.
