Steps: DIY Cucumber Face Toner
Prepare Cucumber Juice
1- Start by washing 4 small cucumbers.
2- You can opt for either of the following two methods to extract the cucumber juice. You need 1/2 cup of cucumber juice, so 4 small cucumbers, or 2 medium-sized cucumbers, or one large cucumber will yield that much juice.
Grating Method:
- Peel the outer skin of each cucumber.
- Grate all the cucumbers in their entirety.
- Place the grated cucumber pieces in a sieve, then press them with a spoon to collect the juice.
Juicing Method:
- Peel the outer skin of each cucumber.
- Put the peeled cucumbers in a juicer to extract the juice.
Do not throw away the cucumber pulp after extracting the juice. Refer to the section Tips and Hints at the end of the article for how to make use of it. The cucumber is an amazing vegetable, and we can benefit from every part of it.
Mix Toner
3- After extracting the cucumber juice, fill 3/4 of a 100ml bottle with the juice.
4- Top up the remaining space with rose water.
5- Shake the bottle slightly to mix the two ingredients.
6- Your DIY Cucumber Face Toner is now ready!
