Witch Hazel

Witch hazel

Witch hazel has been used as a medicinal plant throughout the ages. Today, its properties are now used in a wide variety of personal care products. Witch hazel serves as an astringent, which helps constrict tissues in the body, and it is also a natural antiseptic.

Astringent

Facial products containing witch hazel can deeply cleanse the pores and promote toned skin. They can also help reduce redness, irritation, oiliness, and blemishes. Unlike facial soaps, these products do not require water for use. You simply wipe them over your skin with a cloth or cotton ball to remove dirt, makeup, and more. Witch hazel cleansers are available as hand sanitizers and moistened towelettes as well, making it easy to clean up when on the go.

Hemorrhoid care

Some products that contain witch hazel are designed for vaginal and hemorrhoid care. The medicated wipes can help reduce irritation while they clean the area. For additional cooling and soothing, consider selecting wipes that also contain aloe. These hemorrhoid care products can be flushed, so they are easy to discard after use. The pouches containing them are resealable as well, so the wipes retain their moisture. For times when you experience more irritation or discomfort, the medicated wipes can be used as compresses on the area to provide even greater relief. If you are usually on the go, consider selecting a pack of the portable wipes for relief at any time.
