Easy
Before you throw that real pine Christmas tree out or dismantle those lovely natural pine wreaths and garlands you put together for the holidays, gather some pine needles* (or you can cut off fresh pine needles from a living tree anytime of the year) and make a homemade batch of facial toner using just three ingredients. Pine needles, witch hazel and water.
Let's consider the three ingredients: Pine needles are high in vitamin C and helps improve circulation and complexion. Witch Hazel is an astringent produced from the leaves and bark of the North American Witch-hazel shrub. It tightens the skin, reduce swelling, helps repair broken skin and also fights bacteria. Water - It's best to use filtered water or distilled water where the impurities have been removed.
Here's how to make the perfect natural toner:
This is a mild fragrant, refreshing homemade astringent toner that's cool to your face, helps to shrink pores and firm your skin, giving it a radiant, luminous look that you can make anytime of the year.

Can you substitute witch hazel with something else? I cannot find it where I live. Thanks!
