ONE: Scoop Chamomile and Calendula into the sealable tea bag. Carefully tip the tea bag on its side and seal the open side with a hot iron.
TWO: Place the tea bag into the Aloe Vera Liquid, and press down to fully submerge. Allow the tea bag to infuse in the Aloe Vera Liquid for 8 hours, or overnight.
Note:It’s normal for a portion of the Aloe Vera Liquid to evaporate during this process, the amount of liquid in the recipe has taken this into account.
THREE: Squeeze out as much of the aloe vera liquid as possible, and throw away tea bag.
FOUR: Add witch hazel and Optiphen ND. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine.
FIVE: Once all ingredients have been added, pour toner into bottles and place cap on top. To use, pour a small amount of the toner onto a cotton ball, and gently sweep across face in one direction. Do not scrub! This can irritate the skin. Follow with a moisturizer.
