Witch hazel, Treating acne, Shrinking hemorrhoids


 Witch hazel

It's for: Treating acne

This plant extract helps fight acne by drying out excess oil in the skin. Because it contains alcohol, witch hazel can help kill the bacteria that cause infection and lead to breakouts.

But try: Shrinking hemorrhoids

"Witch hazel is a natural astringent," . "It works to contract the skin and surrounding blood vessels back to normal size." That's why it is a primary ingredient in many OTC hemorrhoid wipes and medicated pads . "Alone, witch hazel may dry out delicate tissue, so also apply a cream, such as Vaseline or A+D original ointment, to moisturize the area," .
