I just recently bought a bottle of distilled witch hazel from shopper's drug mart after reading about it's many uses. Right after my shave (after a cold water rinse), I used it as though I was using an aftershave; poured a little on my hands, rubbed them together and then gently rubbed all over face. The initial smell was a little strong but it did leave my skin fairly toned. I then followed with Nivea sensitive ASB which left my face a little red (I'm thinking the 2 products may have had some sort of reaction or perhaps I didn't wait long enough b/c usually the Nivea sensitive ASB calms and tones as well).
My question is, do you guys use it immediately following shaving as well? Apply it with a cotton pad or with your hands as I did? Wait for it to dry and apply an ASB or is it better to just leave it? Also, I'm thinking of also applying it mornings after I wash my face (I shave at night) to help tone and reduce the appearance of some red spots I've gotten from ingrown hairs/minor acne, would this be a good idea or perhaps overload?
Thanks in advance
