To make your own high quality, all natural skin cleansing toner/astringent, you will need to make a strong infusion of these herbs in a glass quart mason jar filled with distilled water.  You should only need to use 1/4 cup of herbs for every quart of distilled water.  Cover the herbs with the boiling distilled water and let them brew for 15 or 20 minutes with the jar covered.  You can also let the infusion sit in the sun for a day.  The stronger the infusion, the better.  Strain out the herbs and let the infusion cool.  You can add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to this infusion and one or two cups of witch hazel astringent, (which you can purchase at your drug store).   If you have dry skin, you may also add a drop or two of vegetable glycerine.  A few drops of lavender or peppermint essential oil finishes this toner very nicely!  Keep this refrigerated in a spritz bottle and it should keep very well for two or three months. 

This toner/astringent can be used for so much more than just a skin cleanser.  This is wonderful to spritz on during the day as a cooling skin refresher.  It can be used as a mild and gentle deodorant when applied throughout the day (additional witch hazel and a teaspoon of baking soda make it more useful as a deodorant).  It is very soothing to sun burns, skin rashes, diaper rashes, and a host of other skin problems.

You will also recieve a beeswax tart with this blend.  To make a salve or balm, you will have to infuse this blend into olive oil (sunflower, sweet almond, safflower or another healing oil will work, too).  After the oil is infused, you will strain out the herbs and warm this oil combined with the melted beeswax.  Mix together and pour into a plastic container or tin.  Experiment with the wax by adding a little at a time.  The more wax, the firmer the balm...less wax and you have a soft salve.  You will recieve detailed instructions with your order.
