If you’ve got dry skin that feels tight, flaky, or itchy sometimes, you’re definitely not alone. Dry skin needs a little extra TLC because it loses moisture super fast. And yes, toners aren’t just for oily skin — dry skin needs them too, just the right kind that won’t make things worse.
Making your own toner at home is a great way to keep your skin happy and hydrated without any harsh chemicals. Plus, it’s pretty simple with stuff you might already have in your kitchen. Here are some easy homemade toners you can try that really work for dry skin.
Quick tip: Avoid toners with alcohol — they dry your skin out even more!
1. Apple Cider Vinegar Toner
Apple cider vinegar might sound strong, but when diluted, it’s amazing at balancing your skin’s pH and keeping things clean.
Here’s how I do it:
Mix one part apple cider vinegar with three parts water. Keep it in a spray bottle or jar.
Use it by gently wiping your face with a cotton pad or spraying it on after you wash your face. Just remember, always dilute it well so it doesn’t sting or dry you out.
2. Rose Water & Glycerin Toner
Rose water feels so calming and smells wonderful, plus it hydrates your skin. Adding glycerin helps keep that moisture locked in.
To make it:
Mix about 40 ml of rose water with 5 ml of glycerin and pour it into a bottle.
I usually pat it on with a cotton ball right after cleansing. And if you want a quick refresh during the day, just spritz pure rose water on your face.
3. Cucumber Water Toner
Cucumber is super cooling and hydrating — perfect for dry or sensitive skin.
Just grate two cucumbers and squeeze out the juice. Pop it in the fridge.
When your skin feels thirsty, dab some cucumber juice on with a cotton pad. Bonus: If you want, add a teaspoon of honey for an extra hydration boost.
