Balance your skin with a Rooibos toner
Elevate your skincare routine with a Rooibos face toner for balanced, hydrated and glowing skin.
Using an herbal facial toner will calm sensitive skin and alleviate any temporary redness and inflammation. It’s also a great way to prepare your skin for serums and moisturisers.
Rooibos and lemon toner
Mix a ¼ cup of strong Rooibos tea (cooled down), with a ¼ cup of lemon juice.
Moisten some cotton wool with the cooled Rooibos and lemon mixture to tone your skin. Leave on for 10 minutes, before rinsing with lukewarm Rooibos water (add a tea bag to your rinsing water). Never rinse your face with warm water as this will open the pores.
If you have any of the mixture left, you can store it in an airtight container in your fridge for about a week.
