I know I’m commenting here late, but I wanted to let you know that I made the facial toner over the weekend. I love it — it makes my skin feel very clean and soft . However, I didn’t follow your advice and ended up making a lot of it! I know it needs to stay refrigerated, so I came up with a way to save it more conveniently. I put the solution into ice cube trays and froze small portions of it. I used food coloring to dye the solution so we wouldn’t confuse it for regular ice cubes, plus I put “DO NOT EAT” on the trays I used for it and will keep these trays just for that purpose. Once they were frozen, I put the cubes in a bag labeled “DO NOT EAT” in the freezer. I just take out a cube in the morning and it melts by the time I’m ready to use it! Just a couple of things I’d do differently next time:

-I filled the compartments in the trays about halfway, but this is still too much toner for me to use in a day. So I take the extra and put it into a small bottle that I keep in the fridge and use the next day. Next time, I think filling the compartments just a quarter of the way would be enough
-The witch hazel makes the whole freezer smell as it’s freezing, and the smell even gets into the fridge a bit. I put baking soda into both the fridge and freezer to get rid of the odor, and I replaced all of our regular cubes as they were uncovered and I was concerned they’d pick up the flavor of the witch hazel. Next time, I’m going to try putting the toner ice cube trays into sealed bags in the freezer to keep the odor contained while they’re freezing

Other than that, I’m happy with the results of my first batch. I figure it will last me about 3 months and only cost about $7 to make. Overall, a good deal!
