I made a simple toner with just aloe Vera juice, witch hazel & Glycerin. Will the DMAE be no use or HA?

Thanks for your response @ngarayeva001. What humectants would you recommend apart from Glycerin? I thought this toner was good as it appears many have said good reviews about it.  Hence the reason I wanted to make something similar. I would like to have something simple and won’t dry my skin or irritate it.

What do you expect this toner to do?

I expect it to be soothing, ant-aging & somewhat moisturizing.  I bought this and my skin was irritated immediately after applying

Hello Everyone,

My name is Denise and I am a medical missionary. This is a fantastic forum-thanks for dedicating yourself to this Perry & for accepting me to be a part of this.

I am an intrepid DIY enthusiast (cp & hp soap making, remodeling, woodworking, etc) with the mind set that if they can do it, so can I. For a few years now, I have been making my own personal care products for my own personal use, and I am absolutely obsessed with making my own hair care products!  However, I feel there are things that I can learn to enhance the products.

As a missionary, I love to help people that are in need. Doing the best I can to help someone else brings joy to me. Another hobby I have is sewing & making crafts for children. 

My goal with this forum is to learn and hopefully this will help to resolve some concerns I have about the products I am currently making. I have learnt so much from reading thus far on this forum & I look forward to the continued enriching experience I will have.
