Witch Hazel-best natural toner

[chinadoll]

I swear that Witch Hazel is cheap and it works. I use to remove makeup too. I also have other toners, like Neutrogena and Lancome, Estee Lauder but I go back to basics good old witch hazel. What about you guys?

 

[clwkerric]

Witch Hazel is great for natural looking nails too.. It naturally whitens the free edge of the nail and makes your nail beds more pinky! It's a great investment (well, cheap investment.)

 

[AngelaGM]

Great idea about using it on your nails. I am going to try that

i wanna ask if its a kinda essential oil or sth else?

actually all essential oil contains alcohol ini t so the witch hazel EO ur using now has 70-80% ethanol in it even they didnt show it on the bottle while witch hazel water has 15 % ethanol in it ( from RuthWinter, Dictionaryof CosmeticIngredients)

 

[chinadoll]

I heard it was hydrogen peroxide that takes out the yellow off the nails.

 

[emily_3383]

well thats something I didnt know. I have a bottle of this too.

 

[dinokiss21]

what brand do you use?

 

[Jennifer]

good to know. thanks.

 

[Retro-Violet]

i use this when my face is really irritated.

it works great.

Witch hazel seems to be too strong for my skin. I think it probabaly has too much alcohol in it. I can't use any toner with alcohol, just too irritating on my skin.

 

[chinadoll]

Oh. They should not put alcohol with witch hazel. If they gonna sell it, they should sell it alcohol free so you get the real witch hazel in it.

 

[Hi Im Mandy]

^They do have an alcohol free version of witch hazel that I use.. its by the brand Thayers and its sold at Whole Foods.

Thanks for the information! Witch Hazel seems a little too drying for my skin though.

Ive heard good things about witch hazel alot but I dont know where they sell it here. I want a new toner since I think Clinique's really doesnt do anything for me. What does witch hazel do exactly? Im willing to try it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It made me itch when I tried it. Also, I can't stand the smell.

 

[erinhelley]

Oh my god! It makes your skin feel soooo clean and soft. I use it after my cleanser everyday. I love it.

But yes it does smell kinda icky!

I clean my eyes with an oil based remover use clinique face wash and finish with witch hazel and a green tea serum. The stuff works wonders and doesnt over dry your skin like other astrigents and toners

I used to use witch hazel all the time. If you have normal skin it is excellent, but if you are prone to break-outs it might not be enough for you.

I went to bath and body works today for there rosewater toner and it smelt bad and also cost about 15$....clinques toner is 20$ for a larger size. I think im just going to buy walgreens witch hazel.

I do have dry skin but its getting better with the weather warming up...should i stick with the witch hazel?

 

[Monica_r]

sooo. i use the estee lauder perfectly clean toner. but i really dont like the smell. i want one with a fresh smell, not flowery. any suggestions? i have normal skin by the way.
