Green Tea Toner Recipe for Acne Prone Skin or Oily Skin

Always apply toner to clean skin.  Wash your face as usual and pat dry with a clean towel.  Apply the toner with a cotton pad or cotton ball.  Use your favorite moisturizer immediately after using the toner.  You should use a toner morning and night to prevent breakouts and keep your skin nourished. Each ingredient was added for a specific purpose.  After the recipe, I'll explain what each one is used for and why they are important.
