This Rose Water Cleansing Toner not only cleanses your skin and pores; it also keeps the skin soft smooth and clear. It does not dry out the skin and leaves it feeling refreshed. The Rose Water Cleansing Toner uses simple ingredients and it lasts for a long while. Over time the use of this toner makes reduces outbreaks of acne and produces an anti-aging effect. Many online DIY toners use Witch Hazel, however this recipe does not as I have found it hard to find in Pakistan.
