An effective product for your skin does <b>not<\/b> need to have alcohol in it. Alcohol will only make your already moisture-starved skin even drier.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the last time you went to the doctor and got a shot? What did the nurse use to clean your arm (or somewhere a little lower) before you got the shot?<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol is great for cleaning and sterilyzing, but it also dries <b>very<\/b> quickly, and it certainly leaves a lot to be desired in the moisturizing department.<\/p>\n<p>Find a good toner that adds moisture to your skin as well. Some really effective ones I&#39;ve found contain Pro-Vitamin B5 and Rosewater. These ingredients, when combined with a toner that&#39;s designed to balance your skin&#39;s natural ph (level of acidity or alkalinity) ,will help to keep your skin soft and supple.<\/p>\n<p>Rose water in your toner works well because of it&#39;s astringent and antiseptic properties. When your skin is very dry and begs &quot;Handle with Care&quot;, skin toner containing rose water is a soothing option.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"inline_link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.greatskinforlife.com\/how_to_make_rose_water.html\">Rose Water is a great addition to a Dry Skin Toner.
