Here is a great recipe to make at home for a quick toner:
- 1 Part Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2-6 Parts Water
You can dilute more if you need to, but you must dilute it by half. For example, if I were making a large batch, I would use 1 cup of water and 1 cup of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. Dilute more if it is too strong for you.
Store in a bottle, and then use a cotton round to apply to the face. It should last you a long time!
Never apply undiluted to the face. Apple Cider Vinegar is great to restore the skin's natural acidity. The skin is 4.5-5.5 pH (more acidic), so using vinegar is an awesome way to "tone" the skin back down. Vinegar also helps with adding protein back to the skin, lightening age spots, removing excess oil, and clears up acne.
It can get kind of smelly, but after it has dried on the face, it will be much better.
Try it and let us know how it goes!

Thanks so much for these tips! I’ve got “large pores” and have been using the (Bragg’s) apple cider vinegar/water toner for the past month or so, and have noticed a considerable reduction in the appearance of their size. My skin feels more taut, and pores don’t fill up so easily, either. I came to your website about using coconut oil as a face moisturizer, which I’ve liked very much as long as I don’t apply too much in t-zone where my “problem” pores are. (Coconut does make a great massage oil, btw.) Will take advice and try olive and jojoba oils instead, as I am of European ancestry as well. Thanks again!!
[…] 2. Use a toner on your skin at least once sometime during the day. It can be after the shower, or when you take your makeup off at night. Here is a recipe for a toner that I have previously posted- HERE. […]
You can do it after the salt scrub. Instead of wiping the oils away, try adding to it. So with a cotton round, you are going to add to it, instead of wiping away. Hope that helps!
Hello,
I just received your lavender salt scrub and love it! I’m interested in using apple cider vinegar as a toner but am confused as to when I would apply it. Would it be after the salt scrub? That’s seems like it would take away all the nourishing oils…
It would be ok. But the ACV restores the pH of the skin better :)
