Give your skin a fresh boost with this easy, at-home antioxidant toner:

  1. Peel any citrus fruits (leave on the white pith—it’s packed with bioflavonoids).

  2. Simmer the peels in 2 cups of water until reduced to 1 cup.

  3. Strain, cool, and apply with a cotton pad or spray bottle.

This refreshing toner delivers a daily dose of antioxidants to support and nourish your skin.

Want to level it up? Add any of these ingredients before simmering:

  • Pomegranate seeds

  • Rosehip or rose petals

  • Chamomile, green, white, or licorice root tea

  • Aloe vera juice or gel (add after cooling)

Store your toner in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze in ice cube trays for longer use.
