Ooooo ... I have wacky sensitive skin, too, and I've been looking for a decent toner, thanks! My face is a bit too dry for witch hazel, even the good non-drugstore kind.

Glycerin is a humectant, in other words it attracts water particles and therefore keeps your skin hydrated.

I found this recipe which also adds witch hazel, but many toners are interchangeable so you could just omit the w.h. and replace with an equal amount of rosewater. It uses about a tsp glycerine. Never apply pure glycerine directly to your skin as it will just absorb the water closest to it, that being on your skin, which will dry it out.

Make sure you use sterilised/disinfected containers :)

If you don't use water washing and only a toner to clean your face then thats fine, especially if your skin is sensitive. Just our some on a cotton pad and gently wipe your face. I'd do this a couple of times til you don't see any residue on the pad.

It can also be used just after washing with a cleanser and water, and then be followed by your moisturiser.

Thanks, I just would like to be able to make it.

" you guys want some middle eastern homemade remedies let me know"

totally post stuff!
like anything and everything.

I think it's commonly sold in Latino markets. At least in NYC it is.

i don't use rose water, but love the Thayer's rose water witchhazel. i think it has rose in it AND witch hazel.

i use it for cleansing in the morning, and after using an oily makeup remover and also to thin out my face cream.
