| Witch hazel can also be used as a toner for oily or acne-prone skin. Many toners contain alcohol, which can decrease oiliness and tighten pores, but can also overstrip the skin's natural oils and cause a leathery look. Toners containing alcohol should be used only by those with very oily skin. The alcohol percentage should not exceed 35 percent. |
| Another easy and effective toner is ice. Rub an ice cube over the face after cleansing. This should be done after cleansing and before moisturizing. Put two trays of ice cubes into a sink filled with cold water. While wearing rubber gloves lined with cotton, splash the icy water on the face about 40 times, covering all the areas. |
| Carrier Oils |
| Be sure to select only cold-pressed oils that are free of preservatives and kept in the refrigerator to preserve freshness. |
