There are quite a few recipes for each step so your selection of which one to use is simply down to personal preference.

Most daily commercial skin toner products tend to be alcohol-based and sadly, this leads to inflammation and drying out of your skin, particularly when it’s used on delicate or already partly dried-out skin.

  1. Hi everyone,

    I have enjoyed reading and learning everything about face creams, facials, wrinkle creams and my favorite the lotion for dry skin.

    I just can hardly wait to make myself this cream for dry skin, the facials and some toner.
    Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait.

    Thanks again!

  4. Nice article, I just want to suggest all readers drink 3-4 litre water every day, and 1 glass of warm water every morning which will reduce your toxins and extract it from your body which will help to have a glow skin.

  5. You have a ton of great natural face health products. I like how you said that the recipes you have for moisturizers has different ones for each face type. My face always feel dry, so that is what I should look at. I’ll probably just buy them, though.
