Recently, Dr. Oz talked about using Dickinson’s Witch Hazel Pure Perfecting Toner as an inexpensive drugstore remedy for under eye bags. I don’t have under eye bags, although some people have called me an old bag.
Dickinson’s claims it is 100% natural and gently removes excess oil and impurities without stripping skin of essential moisture, refines pores*, and locks in moisture.
I can tell you that I started using this and gave away my old toner because I found that Dickinson’s left my skin clean, but not dry.
You can find it at most drugstores for under $5.
They also carry facial towelettes.
*I admit I had to look this up because I had no idea what refining pores would mean. I’ve heard of minimizing pores, and eliminating pores, but never refine pores. So, in case this is a new term for you too (and if it isn’t please don’t tell me I’m stupid), here is the explanation: Pores can get clogged with excess dirt and oil, making them appear larger and causing breakouts. However, pore refining products and techniques to cleanse the pores reduce the likelihood the pores will get clogged and enlarged.
