Kahne Witch Hazel face tonic REVIEW

I can't believe I haven't introduce you to my favourite face tonic yet: Kahne Witch Hazel tonic. I mentioned it few times before, but never done full review on it. Well, let's fix that ;)

I heard that witch hazel toners are mild and suitable for sensitive skin, which I totally have. I originally wanted to buy Witch hazel tonic off eBay, but I did a little research and wanted to know if I can get alcohol free witch hazel tonic in Slovenia. And I found it in Drugstore Tuš and Mercator.

Toner comes in 200 ml plastic bottle, which has small opening on the top, so you can control how much product to use. I use it in my day and night skin care routine, sometimes I even clean my face with it after a workout. I've used it also on other people before applying moisturizer and makeup. Everyone said it feels really nice and fresh. To me it smells like a really fresh cleaner, it's not unpleasant, but it's not the best either.

I put some product on cotton round and wipe my face with it. This tonic has hydrating and soothing effect and acts against dry, stressed, sensitive skin lacking moisture. It leaves the skin softer, smoother and regulated its pH balance. I feel like it really brings back moisture to my face and tightens my pores. The best part is that it doesn't contain any alcohol, so you can use it around your eyes, it doesn't irritate them at all. It also helps to remove last traces of makeup.

What it says on the bottle:
- mildly cleanses very sensitive skin,
- calms red and irritated skin,
- astringent effect, tightens pores,
- refreshes skin and restores its moisture,
- also suitable for cleansing the eye area.

Ingredients: Aqua, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Tilia Cordata Extract.

The only downside is that it could be available in more stores. I can only get it in one store in my home town.

I highly suggest you get this tonic, especially if you have sensitive skin and want really gentle skin care. I'm already on my 4th or 5th bottle ;). Price is around 4 - 5 €.

Homemade face toner

I have used so many face toners in my life, and it seemed all of them just irritated my skin. I have very sensitive skin, so alcohol in toner is not an option for me ... got so many allergies, break outs and I can go on and on ... Not so long ago I came across with this recipe for a face toner and decided to try it out. I feel in love with it, and haven't used any other face toner in a while. :)
Here is my little "secret".

Things needed:
- organic apple cider vinegar (ACD) - it must be organic one, because everything you put on your skin is absorbed, so it's the best to be the purest (I bought mine at DM)
- distilled water or bottled water
- and of course an empty container (I bought mine with a spray cap in Mueller)

I ran out of my ACD, that's why  picture is not taken by me :)

Pour the apple cider vinegar in a clean empty container till it's half full. Fill up the container with water, so you have a 1:1 mixture. Shake it a little and you are ready to use it.
Apple cider vinegar has so many health benefits: recommended for a weight loss, fights allergies, prevents muscle soreness, strenghtens your immune system ... and of course it cures skin problems such as acne.

I don't really have any acne, but from time to time I break out and it really frustrates me. Since I started using this toner on a daily basis, I found my skin much softer, I breakout less and even blackheads are less noticeable. ACD helps balance out PH levels of our skin. I'm not any kind of a skin doctor, so I don't know a lot how it works, I just know it works magic :)

I use it before going to bed, because the smell is not the nicest one, but you get used to it. I spray three to four pumps in to a cotton pad and gently wipe it all over my freshly washed face (no makeup!). I don't rinse it, I let it air dry and afterwards I apply my night cream. In the morning I wash my face very well to get rid of the smell. Otherwise you can smell it during the day. Been there :P.

Try it out and share your thoughts in a comment section :). I hope it helps!
Have a lovely day,

Lots of love,
xoxo Deja
