Parsley Skin Toner

We all know that parsley is a powerful mouth freshener, but it also makes a mild and gentle toner for the skin. Use this freshener throughout the day to keep your complexion clean and radiant. Parsley is easy to find in any grocery store or farmer’s market. It’s also a snap to grow in your garden or in a container. Parsley especially loves to be planted next to roses. It is believed when planted at the base of your rose bush, it makes the flowers smell sweeter.
SERVINGS: 8 ounces
RECIPE CATEGORY: Simple Ideas
HERB: Parsley
KEYWORDS: skin care, toner

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  1. Place the parsley in a ceramic bowl and pour the boiling water over the leaves.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool completely, then strain and pour into a clean container.
  3. To use: Apply to your skin using a clean cotton ball or small spray bottle.

Notes

Yield: 8 ounces
Note: if using parsley on your skin is new, you will want to do a patch test first. This is true with any new skincare. Simply rub a bit inside your arm or behind your knee and wait a few hours to see if your skin reacts to the new ingredient.
