More Uses for Witches Hazel

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.
