In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the bay leaves and let them simmer for 5–7 minutes. - Cool and Strain:
Remove from heat and let the liquid cool to room temperature. Strain the water to remove the leaves. - Add Enhancers (Optional):
Once cooled, mix in aloe vera gel and coconut or almond oil if desired. Stir well. - Application:
Dip a cotton pad into the bay leaf toner and apply it to clean skin, focusing on wrinkle-prone areas like the forehead, eyes, and around the mouth. - Leave On:
Let it dry naturally. Use this once or twice daily. No rinsing required.
