My lovely friend I work with, Cassie, taught me how to make my own toner.... and now I never find myself searching for anything else! I am so happy with the results that I get from it, that I have to share this awesome info with you!
Just as a general note, I have very dry, sensitive skin, which gets irritated very easily with most toners...
It only takes two ingredients, vegetable glycerin, and rose water. I use a small 3 oz. bottle (I believe), it's a travel size that I picked up at WalMart for a dollar. All you have to do is fill about 1/5 of the bottle with glycerin, and the rest with rose water! That's it! Or if you need a little more moisture, just up the amount of glycerin, if you need less moisture, use less glycerin to rose water.
I don't think it matters what brand of glycerin you use, I got mine from a local health food store, it's by Starwest Botanicals, all it says on it is '100% Pure Vegetable Glycerine'. The rose water you go for, however, makes a bigger difference. I recommend smelling the rose water you are going to buy because if you hate it, it's not going to be fun to use every day! The one my friend introduced me to is by Heritage Products, and it just says 'Rose Petals Rosewater *certified' on it.

I'll try and get a picture up soon.... my computer is giving me a little fit, but I hope this helps someone!! The bottle of rose water is 8 oz. I believe, and the glycerin was 16 oz. They both cost me somewhere around $10, but you'll be able to make plenty of toner to last you a long time! You hardly use any of that glycerin, that bottle will last me years! The rose water you'll have to get more often since you use more of it, but still much cheaper than buying other toner, and much better for your skin I'd like to think! 2 ingredients... that's all!! Enjoy!! :-)
