Witch Hazel: A Natural Skin Astringent Review

Friday, January 8th, 2010

With hazel is a natural substance that helps cleanse the skin. Using this product typically helps unclog the pores without using an expensive skin care line.

However, how well does it really work? Does it help everyone or just some people? These are some very important questions to answer about this natural, simple acne clearing solution.

Pros

This product helps keep the pores clean. It also helps reduce dark spots, pimples, and other blemishes. It also works well for clearing up oily skin and keeping proper balance. It also has a toning effect, and evens the complexion.

Unlike alcohol-based astringents witch hazel does not have as much tendency to cause dryness. Furthermore, it is a product that is very easy to use. It can be applied with a cotton ball, or splashed on with your hands.

You might be able to find a gentle facial scrubbing pad to use with it. This remedy is probably quite a bit cheaper than most used today to clear the skin. At the same time, it also has a very pleasant smell, or at least some people think so.

It has an antiseptic affect as it helps remove bacteria and debris from skin pores. This further keeps your face clear and smooth.

Cons

It may not work on very severe cases of acne, or for removal of cysts. Clearing the skin if pimples and whiteheads takes considerably loner than using other treatments. It may not be appropriate for people with very dry skin.

It is not suited for people with very sensitive skin, as it could redden the skin and even could cause rashes. It might also sting the skin if you have any open sores on your face. However, it is milder than other natural substances.

Although some people like the smell of it, not everyone does. To each one’s own.
