Benefits of Witch Hazel

Witch hazel is an astringent compound produced from the leaves and bark of the North American witch-hazel shrub. It is a component of many commercial healthcare products.

Back in the early days, people used witch hazel to treat swelling, inflammation and tumors.

Witch Hazel has amazing properties:

- fight acne

- nourishes dry skin

- reduces the puffy eye look

- relives discomfort from sunburns

- soothe and prevents razor burn

I personally use witch hazel as a toner for my face. I like to add a couple of drops of bergamot and lavender essential oils to a cotton pad with witch hazel after I wash my face. I have oily/sensitive skin and I have no problem using witch hazel.

Another great tip is to carry some witch hazel in a small glass spray bottle and have it on you as a nice skin refresher during the day.

The brand that I use is Thayers Witch Hazel with Rose Petals and I purchased mine from the health food store.
