Hello to all!
Just a quick question! I wanted to try witch hazel since it's being used so widely after shaving. However I could not find the products mentioned on this forum (like thayer's) so i went out and bought the following bottle: (I am in Greece)
Translation: hamamelis flower water (witch hazel) Oil base. 12M, 100ml
I tried splashing it directly on my face after i rinsed the alum block off and followed with noxzema cool carbon balm. About an hour later I got something like razor bumps, like red spots and overall redness. I read today that if you don't dilute pure witch hazel you might get adverse effects. I used it again this morning without diluting it and was ok.
Is there a certain recipe of dilution for this "oil base" witch hazel?
Thanks
