Witch Hazel...do you use it?

**cwrighta70** · 03-20-2008, 04:27 AM

Hey all,

I've seen a number of people using Witch Hazel in the SOTD pictures. This works well for toning the skin and controlling irritation? And do you use it in place of an aftershave, or along with?

Thanks for the feedback!

If I need an after shave I'll use witch hazel, works just fine.

Witch hazel first, cool (not cold) water rinse, pat dry, lastly aftershave = my current ritual.

I don't like it. Opened the first and only bottle this morning and it does nothing for me no scent no cooler than just spashing cold water on your face which is free. Witch hazel gets the thumbs down from me. Use an after shave balm or after shave instead. Just my thoughts on it. You asked I answered.

I blend WH with AS 1:1 and then add 8-10 drops of glycerin to every 4 oz of this mixture. The perfect aftershave treatment for me.

I use witch hazel and when it's fully dry on my face I use
aftershave.

i use it and love it. no aftershave only WH.

shave - cold rinse - pat dry .... then i clean the razor, sink.. this gives my face 1min to finish drying. at this point i can feel it becoming dry. this is when i use a spritzer bottle with WH and spritz the face and neck. thats it, im done. no AS. works great every time.

try a different WH. i think most people use the Thayer's Non-Alcoholic type. it can be found in healthfood stores/GNC. it comes in unscented, lavender, and rose. by the way, i use the rose. its not strong but very nice and subtle.

Same here. Cuts the scent of my AS a tad (it is a strong scent) and makes it last longer!

I've also heard good things about the WH w/ Aloe. Thanks for the feedback guys.

CatMan: Do you mix into a decanter of some sort?
