Ok, straight up: are you a cranberry fan at Thanksgiving? Cranberries are a holiday staple at my house, but I can only eat them whole--not that congealed thing out of the can. Ew (sorry Mama)! Regardless whether you like them or not, cranberries are excellent for your skin! I'm talking benefits like anti-aging, antioxidants, full of vitamins, skin brightening, bacteria-blocking,and more. I'm sharing this Cranberry Toner that is great for oily and acne-prone skin. Enjoy!
T O O L S
2 tbsp cranberry juice
1/2 c witch hazel (found at any drugstore or chain store)
bottle
M E T H O D
- Cleanse and dry face.
- Pour ingredients into bottle and shake.
- Pour onto cotton pad/wash rag and apply to face. Do not rinse.
- Apply moisturizer if needed.
T I P S
- Use 100% juice, or as close as possible, for best results.
- This stays for a couple of weeks and can be refrigerated.
- Juice from real cranberries can be used--just be sure it is strained.

I'm trying this Elle, stat. I actually love Witch Hazel and have used it a lot through the years. Can you recommend where to get it? I have a hard time finding it in the toner?
My Grandpa was a Fuller Brush Man and he swore by Witch Hazel so I used it as soap, as lotion and anything else you can with it. :) Love it!!!

this is intriguing! i guess i'd have to find witch hazel, but this sounds like such a fun thing to make for people..
I would never have thought of this. Wow! Cool :)
This is so cool! Would've never thought to DIY a toner - especially a cranberry one. Though I probably would be tempted to drink it LOL
What a great idea! I use witch hazel on my skin but I've never thought of mixing in some cranberries, although that does make a lot of sense.

I'm such a cranberry girl! LOVE it. :) I make the cranberry sauce every year for Thanksgiving dinner- a killer recipe with dried cherries and shallots. Soooo yum. :)

ooh very very cool! i love both cranberry juice (to drink) and witch hazel (to use) so this sounds like the perfect combination!
Oooh, so cool! I had no idea you could make your own toner!
I'm not a huge cranberry fan so I can put it on my face rather than eat it - perfect!! :)
