Ingredients

1 cucumber
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Take one full size cucumber, chop it up and puree it in the food processor.
Use a cheesecloth draped over or into a shallow bowl, pour the pureed cucumber into the cheesecloth and strain the liquid.
Take the remaining pulp in the cheesecloth and place it into a freezer bag and place it in the freezer to harden (use it for the Cool as a Cuke Mask). Leave the cucumber juice in the bowl or place in measuring glass.
Add the coconut milk to the juice of the cucumber you prepped earlier. Now, whisk in the coconut oil until it emulsifies, or is incorporated into the mixture.
You can keep the toner in a clean ketchup bottle, just squirt a little on a cotton ball and dab on a just-washed face. Or, you can put it in a spray bottle and spritz directly on your skin. For an even more cooling feel, store the toner in the fridge.
