DIY Soothing Rose Aloe Vera Toner

Toning is an important part of everyday CTM regime. It is highly recommended to tone the skin after cleansing and before moisturizing. Toning helps in tightening of the pores and for this, a soothing and calming toner is always preferred that makes the skin feel calm and cool. Rose water and aloe vera – both make an excellent skin toner. And what can be a better toner than the one that combines the goodness of these too?

Aloe Vera is used as a great natural toner in skin care. When cut off or broken from its plant, the aloe vera leaves secrete a clear gel that can be applied on wounds and minor cuts and on normal skin to soothe. Not only aloe vera helps in  sun burn, it also helps in treating acne. Lot of women swear by aloe vera when it comes to treating skin rashes, bumps, pimples and other skin problems. Aloe Vera also contains lots of anti oxidants including beta carotene and Vit. C & E both of which are highly beneficial for skin.

Similar to aloe vera, rose plant is also packed with immense benefits for skin. Ancient Greeks and Romans are known to use rose petals and rose water in their daily beauty regime. Rose water is a natural skin toner. It has got skin tightening properties which is why plain rose water in itself can be used as a skin toner. Also, rose is a great source of Vit. C and that gives us another reason to use rose on skin. Its beautiful, lingering aroma helps in uplifting the mood and thus uplifts the skin and makes it soft and glowing.
