It is a combo of Patchouli and Rose. My skin is the same as yours and it has done wonders. Just wanted to share! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7724155 Nikki Gabriel's Aunt http://www.gabrielsaunt.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 KY, If you liked the rose water I think you would like any herbal distillate or hydrosol. They make great toners mainly because of their acidic pH. I distill several of them and have them for sale. With oily skin you might try fennel. You could add some alcohol to it as a preservative and a little glycerin too as a humectant.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have never used face toners in my life. What exactly do these do?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi Joyce My understanding is that facial toners help to adjust the skin ph back to its normal level after washing. (Most facial cleansers are somewhat alkaline.) I guess if your cleanser has a ph of 6.5 or less, you wouldn't need a toner unless you had a humectant in it and were using it as a moisturizer too. For myself, I just like a refreshing spritz now and again. Patty --- Joyce S <joycelynn3 wrote: > I have never used face toners in my life.
