Putting eucalyptus oil all over my face, good or bad idea?

I was thinking of using eucalyptus oil as a toner. I've used it to get rid of pimples before, but only a little bit. I want to spread lots all over my face though. I wouldn't put it too close to my eyes or mouth. What do you think? Would it be good or bad for my skin? I have a normal skin type.

I would say no, its VERY strong and astringent, but at the same time oily and heavy. I certainly wouldn't apply it to my face.
Just use a toner that is made for people, something you know is safe and wont hurt or damage your skin.
Or if your cheap just use a rubbing alcohol.
