If you’re looking for a natural, gentle, and effective way to brighten your skin and reduce the appearance of large pores, this DIY face toner is the perfect solution. Made with three powerful kitchen ingredients—rice, flax seeds, and rose water—this toner not only hydrates and evens out your skin tone but also tightens your pores, leaving your face fresh and glowing.
Rice is rich in vitamins B and E, amino acids, and ferulic acid which brighten the skin, soothe inflammation, and offer gentle exfoliation.
Flax Seeds are full of omega-3 fatty acids and natural mucilage that hydrate skin and help in pore tightening.
Rose Water balances pH, controls excess oil, soothes skin irritation, and gives your toner a lovely fragrance.
Rinse and Soak Rice:
Rinse the rice to remove dirt and starch. Soak it in 1 cup of filtered water for about 4 hours or overnight.
Boil Flax Seeds:
In a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon flax seeds and 1 cup of water. Boil on low heat until the water turns slightly thick and slimy. This usually takes 5–7 minutes.
Strain Both Mixtures:
Strain the rice water into a bowl.
Strain the flaxseed gel using a fine mesh strainer or muslin cloth. You only need the slightly thick liquid (not the seeds).
Mix Ingredients:
Combine 2 tablespoons of rice water, 2 tablespoons of flaxseed extract, and ½ cup of rose water. Price 1 casule of vitamin E and add this oil in solution. Mix well.
Transfer to Bottle:
Pour the prepared toner into a clean spray bottle or glass jar. Shake gently before each use.
After cleansing, spray the toner onto your face or apply it with a cotton pad.
Let it air dry and follow up with your moisturizer or serum.
Use morning and night for best results.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days for freshness.
