My Opinion:-
When I got bored of my Oriflame Aloe Toner, this bright red toner from Jovees caught my fancy. It was a spray bottle with a transparent plastic lid. The packaging is good enough for my frequent travels.

The fragrance of this attractive red toner is very sweet like that of fresh roses. It is so refreshing and lively that using it is a pleasure. But here I need to caution my friends with sensitive nose, the fragrance is on the stronger side. The fragrance doesnt stay after spraying the toner on skin.

It is a very light and mild toner/astringent and it did its job well. But it worked for a very less time, say for about an hour or so. After an hour my face would be oily again :( Anyways its gentle on my skin and never dried it out or made it feel stretchy. It also didnt harm my pimples, I could use it while I broke out. I have been using this toner twice a day since I bought it.

But my major problem with this toner/astringent is that it leaves a sticky film on my skin which goes away after say 15 mins. And yeah, its more freshening if its kept in the fridge. Anyways prolonged use of this toner has reduced my large pores to quite an extent. Also it gives life to dull/tired skin when sprayed on after a busy day.

Pros:-
* Active ingredients list is very impressive
* Didn't dry out my skin, its mild enough
* I love the bright red liquid and the spray bottle packaging
* Travel-friendly
* Strong rosewater fragrance is very refreshing

Cons:-
* Full ingredient list not given
* Leaves a sticky film behind after application, though it goes after 10-15 mins
* Becomes too frothy when shaked
* Controls the oiliness for around an hour only
* Plain rosewater works better than this Toner :P

I rate this Rose Skin Toner 3.5 out of 5 (-0.5 for sticky-ness & frothy-ness when shaked, -0.5 for non-effective-ness for oil control, -0.5 for non-availability of full ingredient list). I would prefer rosewater over this toner/astringent. Also my Avon Rose Toner is waiting for me to try it out.

            Homemade Astringent: Here is a homemade astringent preparation which is used to tone the skin and also to remove the last traces of greasiness and to close open pores.

4 Tbspn Rosemary,

juice of a Lemon,

juice of an Orange,

1 cup Rosewater, and

1/2 cup Witch Hazel.
Mix well all the above ingredients together in an air tight bottle. Let it stand for 3-4 days. Remember to shake the bottle frequently. This is a milder tonic for your skin and is not harmful as strong astringent lotions are. It does not dry out your skin or dehydrates it.
             Sun Tan Lotion: Sunburn is a very common complaint and so here is an easy method to prepare sun tan lotion at home.

5 Tbspn of powdered Sesame Seeds,

1 cup of Rosewater, and 

3 Tbspn of Surgical Spirit.
 In an air-tight bottle, mix together Sesame seeds powder and Rosewater. Keep for 1 full day shaking the bottle frequently. Now strain the solution and add Surgical Spirit in order to preserve it. It helps in cooling and soothing the affected area.
                Both these lotions are purely herbal preparations and are harmless but very effective at the same time.
