As I've mentioned before Witch Hazel is a great toner and it is so refreshing, plus you can pick it up almost anywhere for not much over a pound. Bargain.
How do you make the toner? Well it is pretty simple, take a small spray bottle (I've used an old Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Spray bottle) and just add one part water to three parts witch hazel. Give it a quick shake and away you go. If you feel like adding a little something extra just pulp a cucumber in a blender and add the juice - although this is so refreshing I don't feel it is needed.
Use on a freshly cleansed face to refresh and remove traces of cleanser. Either spray directly on to the skin or spray onto a cotton pad and wipe across your skin. I prefer straight onto the skin - it is far less wasteful.
TTFN,
P.S. Do you think you'll give this one a go?
this is such a good idea, definitely going to give it a go :) so simple! xo

ReplyDeleteyes, this is one I'd try. Like this idea a lot.I want to try the bicarb face wash idea, but haven't had the bottle to do it yet.

This is a lovely idea, another nice toner is to use rose water, its cheap, natural and a light antibacterial, perfect if you are acne prone. Its also lovely to spritz on your face on a hot day. I'm taking some on holiday with me next week!

Warning re: witch hazel - as someone who has spent the last few years under treatment from dermatologists (after 12yrs+ of serious skin problems), do not use witch hazel on your skin if you have rosacea or facial redness - witch hazel is a well known cause and irritant for rosacea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that warning, that is really helpful. I have rosacea (although thankfully it seems to have receded due to some medication) but it is well worth keeping this in mind.
DeleteThanks!
Will definitely try this when my current toner runs out - thank you!

Aren't those sprays fantastic? The little bottles come in so handy.
Deletewhat a great idea, thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI've got an addiction to using Witch Hazel, it's so so good x
ReplyDeleteI've been a convert to witch hazel since I first read about it on your blog about 18 months ago: it's cheap, effective and good for slightly oily skin like mine. I also did a one day course making natural beauty products and we made the witch hazel/cucumber toner too. Only problem is you have to keep it in the fridge (ie not near the bathroom) but on the plus side it's wonderfully cooling and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip!!!
