Marvellous idea. I was going to try a hideously overpriced (based on mineral oil) cleanser until my research indicated an included muslin cloth was the essential ingredient. So I bought a metre of double ply muslin $4, cut into several squares, and used that to scrub and remove my regular cleanser instead. My skin immediately loved the new regimen, and even started to glow again. It didn't need $$$ cleanser, just a $4 cloth! Facewashers work the same. hi from (another!) julie

Hi Anon,
Apparently, using just pure rosewater as a toner is lovely for dry skin. I suspect that the alcohol in witch hazel extract would be far too drying, even with more glycerin.

I'm wondering if you have a similarly easy recipe for facial toner geared for dry skin. Is witch hazel OK for dry skin - perhaps - just using more glycerin?

Hi SH,
Isn't it a shame that the modern varieties have little scent these days? I think the rosewater would still be OK, as you are extracting the essential oil from the petals, it would just be stronger smelling if it were made from the stronger smelling roses.

Hi Deb,
Ooh, I love ASS, I could go bananas buying their wares! Restrain yourself LOL.

Cheers, Julie

Oh thankyou for sharing this. I to have oily/combination skin so I shall be putting the Witch Hazel on the list. What a great way to use those beautiful rose petals. But my question is as many roses these days have no scent are those petals still ok to use?
Hugs to you
