Ingredients
- 5–6 dried bay leaves
- 1 cup of water (about 250 ml)

- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (optional, for soothing effect)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bay Leaf Infusion:
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Add the dried bay leaves to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes to extract the beneficial oils.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let it cool completely.
- Strain and Mix:
- Strain the liquid into a clean bowl.
- Add olive oil or coconut oil if you want extra hydration. Stir well.
- Add aloe vera gel if desired and mix thoroughly.
- Apply:
- Wash your face thoroughly and pat dry.
- Soak a cotton pad in the bay leaf mixture and gently apply it all over your face, focusing on wrinkle-prone areas.
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and apply your regular moisturizer.
- Repeat:
- Use this natural toner 2–3 times a week for best results.
✅ Tip: Do a patch test first to check for skin sensitivity.
✅ Note: While bay leaf has antioxidants and can help tone the skin, it’s not a substitute for medical treatments — results may vary.
