Consuming herbs internally can also help nourish your skin. Dandelion root, burdock root, milk thistle and yellow dock root are great for the liver and will help improve your skin. Drinking green tea can also do wonders for your overall skin health.

Hydrosols and witch hazel are quite effective and cheap as toners. They are easily available at drug stores or you can also make your own just by steeping the plants in hot water overnight and straining. Lavender, cucumber, chamomile, rosemary, and rose are good hydrosols.

Green tea is a great toner as well. If you have a tanned body, green tea can be especially beneficial. You just need to brew it strong and allow it to cool. Unboiled milk is a great skin cleanser and you just need to wipe your face with the cotton wool dipped in this milk.
