1 medium Cucumber, peeled and cut up into pieces
2 tsp. Honey
Puree cucumber in a blender. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and set the sieve over a glass bowl or measuring cup. Pour the cucumber puree through the sieve and let it stand for 15 minutes for the juices to drip into the bowl. Pour the clear juice into a clean bottle and add honey.
To use, shake the bottle and saturate a cotton pad with the lotion. Sweep over face, neck and chest morning and night, and let it air dry (about 3 to 4 minutes). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes about 1/2 cup.
In addition to using witch hazel to treat insect bites, rashes and sore muscles, my mother always used it as an astringent and toner. Place a small amount on a cotton ball or cotton cosmetic round. Then with a delicate pressure simply wipe the witch hazel across your face. You'll be amazed at how much dirt and oil it picks up, even after you've already washed your face. Just look at the cotton ball or cotton cosmetic round for the evidence. Yuck. All of that dirt was on your face. One of the nice things about witch hazel is that it is gentle and doesn't over dry your skin. So if you have dry or combination skin (like mine), you can still use witch hazel to cleanse and tone without irritating your skin.
"Witch Hazel face toner"
sorry
My grandmother washed her face with sour mik and then used cider vinegar ,she'd rinse it all off and then would just use rose water to soften her skin..She was beautiful with the most beautiful skin..AND, No wrinkles..
