Witch hazel is a natural remedy made from the bark and leaves of a plant called Hamamelis virginiana. It has been used in traditional medicine for a very long time, applied topically, for certain skin issues.
This toner or extract has amazing benefits. It has astringent properties that help to tighten your blood vessels and blood tissues which will then reduce your under-eye puffiness.
Benefits of Witch Hazel
1. Hydrates Dry and Dehydrated Skin
witch hazel is good for dry and dehydrated skin. It may seem counter-intuitive because it is beneficial for oily skin and acne.But witch hazel has a pH similar to our own dry skin, so it won’t disrupt it or dry it out. It removes excess oil but does not strip dry skin or oily skin of its natural oils.
2. Makeup Remover
The first way that you can use witch hazel in your beauty routine is as a makeup remover. This was news to me. it was an accidental discovery one night I ran out of my makeup remover and I wanted to use something I already had.
3. Cleanse Oily Skin
It is to cleanse oily skin and balance oil production. I started using witch hazel for dry skin as a toner after I would wash off my makeup at night and it has helped to reduce a lot of the oiliness in my skin.
4. Reduces Redness
This will help to reduce redness in dry skin and I noticed redness reduction ever since I started using it as a toner.
5. Relieves Skin From a Sunburn
Just like aloe vera gel, they will also help to relieve skin after it is sunburnt. If you get a sunburn, apply the witch hazel all over the sunburnt areas as soon as possible. This will help prevent dry skin from peeling which we all know is an uncomfortable after-effect of the burn. Read more……..
