Witch Hazel

 

Witch Hazel is a plant that has been used as a medicine for centuries. The leaves and bark of the Witch Hazel plant are put under pressure and steamed, which releases an extract that is then collected. Witch Hazel has many uses when it comes to skincare.

 

Witch Hazel is what is known as an astringent. Astringents draw the moisture out of an area to help that area shrink down in size or swelling. Cosmetically, astringents help with inflamed areas of the skin caused by acne or different rashes. Witch Hazel helps dry and shrink those irritated areas, leaving a healthier complexion behind.

 

The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties naturally found in Witch Hazel have made it a go-to for skin irritations for generations.
Witch Hazel has been shown to help with a variety of skin irritations like acne, sunburn, and rashes. Witch Hazel is also a topical treatment that may help with uneven skin tone, reducing swelling, and tightening the skin on your face, like baggy under-eyes.

 

The versatility of Witch Hazel makes it so popular as a facial treatment. Besides treating skin irritants, it can also be used to clean the skin. Witch Hazel is shown to clear excess makeup or dirt on the face, leaving the skin clean and refreshed.

 

Witch Hazel is powerful yet gentle enough to be used on the skin daily as part of a skincare routine.
