10 Health Benefits of Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel Benefit #10: Prevents Acne
Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties, and it is great when it comes to using it for treating acne. You can apply witch hazel directly to the face right after cleansing the skin. To increase its effect, you can steam your face beforehand.
Witch hazel works by leading to a contraction of the tissues. As they contract, the pores shrink, which relieves inflammation and provides a soother skin. This prevents bacteria from entering and infecting the skin and causing acne. Witch hazel products are widely found in stores for people who suffer from oily skin and acne. While these are also beneficial, it is just as beneficial to use witch hazel on a cotton ball and apply it to the skin.
