Here are a few natural uses for witch hazel.
Eye Treatment
I keep a bottle of witch hazel chilled in the refrigerator. When my eyes are feeling tired from reading or staring at the computer screen. I soak two cotton pads in the chilled witch hazel, lie down, cover both of my eye lids, and relax for 5 minutes.
Facial Cleansing
I like to wet a soft cotton cosmetic round with witch hazel and wipe my face with it to cleanse. I am always shock on how much dirt is collectioned on the pad after I wipe my face. Witch hazel has a wonderful ability to clean skin pores and dry up excessive oil without leaving skin too dry.
Acne Treatment
Witch hazel is a amazing acne treatment because it is strong astringent and has antioxidant properties. Simply apply witch hazel directly on your to the acne affected skin twice a day using a cotton ball or pad.
Sunburn Remedy
Apply witch hazel to a washcloth and gently pat on your sunburned skin. Witch hazel will help soothe the burn and prevent peeling.
Cold Sore Treatment
Witch Hazel can be applied on a cold sore when you feel it coming on most times this will prevent it from becoming a blister, or speed up healing.
Treats Bug Bites
Witch hazel has anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it ideal to treating bug bites. Apply the witch hazel with a cotton ball, then dab directly on the bite.
Heals Cuts
Witch hazel can be a substitute for hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, or rubbing alcohol when it comes to cleaning out a cut. Pour some witch hazel over the cut or sore and allow it to dry, apply a bandage and you’re set.
Witch hazel is inexpensive and natural product that is good to keep on hand.
