As I've written about in previous posts I've been on a quest to experiment with frugal and natural toiletries like soap, shampoo, toothpaste and facial toner/ astringent; including apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and lemon juice. After trying multiple options, I am happy to announce that my quest is over... as far as facial toner is concerned anyway. I have been using Witch Hazel for over a month now, and am completely happy with the results. Witch Hazel costs less than $3 per bottle, and can be found at any drug store and most grocery stores. I found my bottle in Walmart, near the first aid/ medicine section, next to the Hydrogen Peroxide. An added bonus, is that Witch Hazel is a main ingredient in many of the fancy toners (like Clinique) so you can get the same active ingredient for merely a portion of the price.
The purpose of a toner is to remove any impurities left after washing, to shrink pores, and balance the PH of our skin. It’s usually applied with a cotton ball and wiped all over the face and neck. Witch Hazel is a naturally occurring purifying agent that works as a cooling astringent, anti-inflammatory, and wards off harmful bacteria.

Oooh, I forgot about witch hazel. I used to use it as a toner. Thanks for the reminder.
Wow, interesting. I am going to try this FOR SURE. Thank you.
Erraten Sie auf den ersten Blick, dass der sympathische Mittvierziger in der Supermarktschlange leidenschaftlicher Liebhaber ist und sein Lieblingsbuch Hesses "Steppenwolf"? Wohl kaum. Im Internet dagegen erfahren Sie ueber das Profil eine ganze Menge von Ihrem virtuellen Gegenueber: Interessen, Hobbys, Lieblingsbuecher und Lebensziele. Das laesst sich im wirklichen Leben erst nach vielen Treffen herausfinden.
