Kombucha for a Glowing Complexion

Our Homemade Kombucha Facial Toner

So here’s something interesting, did you know that not only is kombucha a healthy beverage but it can also be used topically.

Not something mainstream (yet!), but this amazing brew can be used as a facial cleanser, toner and even a tonic for your hair! The low pH levels of Kombucha makes it a natural astringent, and using this as a cleanser or toner is like using a mild and inexpensive face peel: it exfoliates and remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin softer.

We’ve personally tried making some kombucha toner and if you’re already used to using a mild all-natural toner (like apple cider vinegar), then this works like a charm.

Not only are you using a skincare that has zero chemicals and consist of something 100% natural, a homemade kombucha toner boosts the following benefits:

• Balancing your skin - especially if you suffer from dry, oily/ acne prone skin

• Helping with skin issues such as psoriasis and eczema

• Protecting against free radicals and toxins

• Preventing signs of aging

• Making your skin soft and supple!

For those who are keen to try, here’s a simple recipe to make your own Kombucha Facial Toner:

Ingredients:::

2 oz Kombucha Vinegar (KV)

2-4 drops essential oils

Combine the ingredients and store in a dark glass jar. Apply as you would a regular toner with a cotton ball.

Store in a cool, dark location or even in the fridge.

Make small batches to try and always remember that when we’re switching to using a product with less stuff (ingredients, chemicals or synthetic stuff), there is always a grace period when your body (and skin) adapts.

So be patient but always be vigilant and listen to your body as everyone is unique and different!
