I have always kept witch hazel on hand; knowing it helped
clean out cuts and scrapes without hurting, cleaning earrings and piercings;
but I never knew how useful it could really be! An inexpensive household must,
it’s good to know all of its beauty and health uses!
-It’s perfect for helping sooth razor burn. Apply
with a cotton swab over the irritated area. It will calm and sooth, as well as
help clean out the pores.
-Say goodbye to baggy eyes. Chill your witch
hazel in the freezer or refrigerator. Apply cotton or cloth soaked in the hazel
to your eyes and allow it sit for 5 to10 minutes. It will reduce the puffiness
from tired eyes.
-It helps your skin heal quicker from a sunburn
(and sooths it). Pour witch hazel into a spray bottle, and then spray it onto your
affected skin.
-Create witch hazel ice cubes and then apply them
to bruises and swollen injuries. It helps reduce the swelling and start the
healing process.
-Use as a toner to help fight acne. Simple swab
across your skin before applying your moisturizer in the morning.
-Help heal diaper rash more quickly. Apply to
affected area with a cotton swap. It will sooth some of the irritation while also
helping it heal.
