JOINING OF HERBS!
SharonD I am a person who has always put my money in facial products that are suppose to do something, erase lines, brighten, lift or whatever. I ignored the toner or bought a cheaper brand as I figured it was really not the important part of a beauty routine. Sometimes I felt ordinary witch hazel could do the job. In the last couple years I have been buying the better toners and still did not notice any great improvement.
A couple weeks before Christmas, I went way out east of where I live to a small one stop sign town to find a little store that supposedly sells exceptional organic and therapeutic products and handmade gifts all created by locals. I was pleasantly surprised by the store, but was ecstatic to discover there were items by Joining of Herbs. I had met these ladies last summer at the farmers market when they were just starting their business. Armed with a whole batch of new face and body products they now sell their items at this store to supplement their mail order business. After I gushed over bath salts, bath butters, massage oils, inhaling the therapeutic essential oils, I decided to buy the toner among other items.
At the shop I did not open the toner and when I went to use it that first night, I almost lost my breath. I was not prepared for the strong vinegary, tea tree oil scent. I used it anyway and decided to give this toner a try and see if there was any benefit. Faithfully twice a day after cleansing I put some of this toner on a cotton ball and dabbed my face and neck, let dry and then went with my normal routine of serums and moisturizers. I did get used to the vinegary scent as it reminded me of my mother pouring vinegar over our hair when we were children as a conditioning rinse. After about a week I noticed my face was smooth and exceptionally clean. A few days later, I met a friend for lunch and she asked if I had just had "breakfast in bed" because I looked so radiant. How can a toner do that? As I kept using this product I found other benefits on my skin. My pores look smaller, the telltale blackheads are gone, skin is soft and tightened but not dry, and my turkey neck is less noticeable. I also find that I am using less makeup and can now skip the concealer under my eyes. My makeup also seems to last longer without needing touch ups.
This toner comes in a 4 ounce bottle for under $5.00;
is made with vinegar, tea tree oil, essential oils and witch hazel and is moisturized by a secret ingredient called by its Native American name of Se'na Oi'na. Joining of Herbs is a line of all-natural skin care products using 100% therapeutic grade essential oils and has no synthetic chemicals, dyes or fillers in their blends. I have ordered products by mail and they arrived well packaged in three to five days. Rhonda and Sara are the developers of these products and reminded me they are for therapeutic use versus scenting your body. If you have questions, they welcome calls or emails and will customize products for your special needs.
I suggest anyone looking for a new younger face for the New Year to give this inexpensive but wonderful product a try.

You know, that totally makes sense to me. Lately I've been using apple cider vinegar, actually after my regular toner. It does amazing things and I've been so surprised by how soft such a cheap product can make my face! Do they sell toners without the tea tree? I think that's a little too strong for me. I wonder if you could make your own?
Can you re-post a link? This sounds like it's SO fabulous and I'd like to give it a try too! Apple-cider vinegar and I have been BFF's a long time...Thanks for posting about an obviously great product that's affordable and created by hand,means a lot these days!
For Makepluv: I think you could probably come up with something similar to this toner. The ingredients are witch hazel, apple cider vinegar, grapefruit and cypress essential oils, tea tree oil. The "secret" to Joining of Herbs products is the Se’na Oi’na which is in the toner. They will not divulge the common, non Native American, name of Se’na Oi’na. I can tell it is a moisturizing oil as it float on the top of the bottle until you shake it. Tantejoan agrees that it is not drying. I have been using it near a month and my skin is better all the time and not drying. It seems like other products soak in better too. I find it hard to believe myself that something so simple can really work. So if you are even remotely interested, I suggest you give it a try.

Been using it for the past three days and am loving it! Clean, clean, clean, but never dry, and it leaves my skin prepped and ready for moisture in the a.m. and something more rich at night. Thanks so much for the lead.
I love products like these. Witch hazel is a common ingredient in toner. You can also use pure witch hazel as toner, and it works really well.
interesting article- i always wondered if there is an actual benefit to using a toner- it was one skincare item i always woudl skip
Love this post! I would love to give these products a try. It sounds wonderful and right up my alley. I love trying anyting natural. I think I need to put in an order?! ;-)
I think this is a must-try in my book!
As soon as the cash becomes available I am so trying this. I really need to clear up my skin and take care of the oil. I am excited to give this a try even if it will make me smell like salad dressing. I can deal with that for happy skin.
Just got the cleanser and toner. I need to use it a little longer to give a more comprehensive review. But so far I am loving this! It really feels great on my skin and I feel like I am seeing some immediate results. I just hope that it helps with my over oily skin problems!
Sounds awesome. Maybe when I get a credit card this year, I can order it. Does it help with acne?
I don't really like herbs products that much.
this looks amazing! i really want to try this!
