I really never could understand how a “toner” is good. It seems soap is harsh enough, stripping away the skins natural oils, but why is this extra nail in the coffin necessary?I'm 73 and I get comments from other people that my skin looks amazing. My skin is in very good shape, all things considered. Here's what I've done for skin care for more than 20 years:
1. I always wear a hat if I'm outside in the sun. I'm outside a lot.
2. I wash my face with a very gentle unscented liquid glycerine soap. here.
3. I use Dickenson's Witch Hazel as a toner to get the soap residue off.
4. I use hydogenated coconut oil as a moisturizer after the witch hazel. I'm pretty generous with it. Coconut oil is wonderful for the skin.
5. I get 8 hours of sleep each night.
6. I do not eat polyunsaturated fats (liquid seed oils). Eating polyunsaturated fats will age your skin and make it susceptible to sun burning.
EDIT: I linked to the wrong witch hazel product above (oops). I use this one.
I'm using extremely gentle unscented glycerin soap; it still leaves a residue that makes my skin dry and drawn. The toner removes the last residue of soap. Then I apply hydrogenated coconut oil. It works for me.I really never could understand how a “toner” is good. It seems soap is harsh enough, stripping away the skins natural oils, but why is this extra nail in the coffin necessary?
Oh so toner is recommended to remove soap residue?I'm using extremely gentle unscented glycerin soap; it still leaves a residue that makes my skin dry and drawn. The toner removes the last residue of soap. Then I apply hydrogenated coconut oil. It works for me.

Gotcha! Thanks!yes.
My mother advised me to start using Dickenson's witch hazel on my skin back in 1963. Her lovely porcelain skinned red headed college room mate always used it on her own delicate skin in the 1930's. Witch hazel has been around a very long time.Gotcha! Thanks!
Nice, what’s the use of witch hazel? As a cleanser? As a man I basically just shower and then use a moisturiser (saturated fatty acid based) after that. Not sure where I could incorporate the witch hazel?My mother advised me to start using Dickenson's witch hazel on my skin back in 1963.

It gets the soap residue off your face. Apply with a cotton ball. Other uses too. I like Dickenson's (link above), good product, unscented, gentle.Nice, what’s the use of witch hazel? As a cleanser?
