Ancient Mayan Skin Toner From Annie B. Bond

 

This ancient Mayan beauty formula is an impossibly

easy-to-make skin toner that rivals if not exceeds anything

store-bought. Cucumbers have the same pH as the skin, and its

juice is very softening and emollient. Carrots are rich in vitamin A

and minerals that nourish and heal the skin, helping to keep it

from aging. The herb spearmint stimulates and cleanses the

skin with its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and

chamomile is not only rich in minerals, but helps prevent

wrinkles, is moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory. Add a little

lemon juice, and you are set.

A good time to make this toner is when the harvest is bountiful. If

you don't own a juicer, borrow one to make large batches. You

can also make just a week's worth of this toner at a time.

 

Zazil Toner

1/4 cup cucumber juice

1/8 cup carrot juice

1/2 cup spearmint infusion

1/4 cup chamomile infusion (avoid if you are sensitive to

ragweed)

1/2 cup lemon juice

Make the cucumber juice and carrot juice. Make strong

spearmint and chamomile teas, and let cool. Combine all the

ingredients in a glass jar and shake to blend. If you freeze the

mixture in ice cube trays, just pop out a cube and rub it over your

face, then put the cube in the refrigerator and use the toner over

the next few days.
