here's the first toner i made. have used the rose geranium hydrosol , which smells like the fruit jelly. and then add a bit of aloe vera extracts and mori cortex extracts. these two help soothing the burnt skin and preventing freckles. this is gonna be my "magic water" in summer! and i've also added some hyaluronic acid which is essential for hydrating skin~ at first, i wanna stick the label stating the ingredients used on the bottle as usual. but at last gave it up, coz i thought it looks better the way it is now. and coz i still couldn't find suitable water-proof materials to use as label.
