There are four skin care tips that are necessary to keep the skin young and healthy. They are cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating and toning. Though the former three are widely spoken about, toning is one thing that is not given much importance. But in fact, toning does wonders for the skin and it is essential that you tone your skin regularly in order to keep the skin healthy and the pores clean. The pores present on the skin are closed, thereby preventing the pollutants from entering into the skin. Just as the DMAE products help in fighting the aging process, toners also keep the skin fresh and also add a certain amount of glow to it as the excess oil present in the skin is removed.

Method of application and types of face toners

Toning of the skin must also be done after a thorough cleansing of the skin. It is after the toning that you need to moisturize the skin. The application of toners on the skin can be done by using a damp cotton wool, spraying it on the skin using a vaporizer and by applying a tonic gauze facial mask. There are three types of toners namely fresheners also called skin bracers which are mild and contain no alcohol, astringents that are the strongest toners and skin tonics that contain a small quantity of alcohol and which can be used for any kind of skin. Here are a few best natural face toners that can cure the blemishes on the skin and give you a fresh and glowing skin.

Lemon Juice

The juice of lemon is one of the best known natural skin toners that can bring about a positive effect to your skin. You can either directly use fresh juice squeezed from lemon as a toner or also dilute it by adding a few drops of water. Apply the juice using cotton wool and this will gradually reduce the scars on the skin and prevent early aging.

Rose Water

Another effective face toner for the face is rose water and it is best for normal skin types. Mix half a tablespoon of alum with 50ml of rosewater and a small quantity of glycerin and keep it in the refrigerator and apply it everyday.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is best known as one of the foods good for the skin and the various positive effects it gives the body, but the fact less known is that it can be used externally for the skin too. Massaging the face with olive oil can tone the skin in right proportions and bring a glow to your skin.

Black Tea

Leftover tea bags can serve well in toning your skin as they have the property of tightening your skin. Add a small amount of hot water to the tea bag and run it over your face. Use a cotton ball and spread it over again and wash off after a few minutes. This, to a great deal helps in tightening of the skin.
