I have turned my bathroom into a skincare laboratory this past week!!!!
I decided to experiment with some red wine vinegar toner combos. Here is my original post with more in depth measurements for making 1/2 ounce, 1 ounce and 2 ounce combos as well as the recipe for the original red wine vinegar toner.
Recipes and my thoughts after the break...

TRY DIY: Red Wine Vinegar Toner
Red Wine Vinegar Toner
Red wine vinegar toner is one of the items that I found really helps to control the oiliness of my skin.
Here is some background on my skin. I have very oily, acne prone skin. I have tried everything...and I do mean everything, to get my skin clear and the oilines controlled. I realized that I needed something tailored to my skin. That is when I discovered the wonders of red wine vinegar and the toner that can be made from it.
One website that helped tremendously when I was doing my research is Garden of Wisdom They also have a forum, but you have to sign up to be a member. It is free. Here is the link Garden of Wisdom forum
Here is the recipe that I use taken from the GoW website:
To make 2 ounces:1/2 tsp vinegar to 2 oz liquid
To make 1 ounce:
1/4 tsp vinegar to 1 oz liquid
To make 1/2 ounce:
1/8 tsp to 1/2 ounce liquid
Liquid suggestions:
Steeped tea, hydrosol, distilled water, aloe juice, gel.
For the Red Wine Vinegar I used Spectrum Organic RWV from Vitacost.
For liquid I used distilled water.
I double the recipe and make it 4 oz at a time to be used after I wash my face. If you are going to keep for longer than a week or two, you will need to add a preservative.
I am not affliated with these companies. Products were paid for with my own money. The review given is my honest opinion and not influenced by any one else.
