Witch hazel water
The properties of the aftershave are the best thanks to the witch hazel water! But what exactly is it? Witch hazel is a tree species whose varieties grow mainly in North America, Japan and China. It has been used as a folk remedy for many ailments for ages. In skin care, witch hazel water is used, which is made by distilling witch hazel leaves and tree bark. This way, skin-cleansing alcohol remains in the product, which makes the product an excellent aftershave.
Soothing and pore-tightening aftershave is a great help for the skin shaving , and also others body hair shaving after. A spray or two just on the skin and I don't go to the bathroom without annoying red irritated pimples. Abracadabra! ?
Sheer magic!
As the name suggests, witch hazel water is pure magic. As a guest author, I found out 8 reasons why:
1. Help with skin infections
The anti-inflammatory property makes witch hazel water a great help for various skin infections, such as acne, eczema or psoriasis. (There are different research results, but this is not our health claim, so I am going to do empirical studies in the surrounding area.)
2. Help with skin irritation
Reduces skin irritation - can thus help fade skin redness. (It has been established.)
3. Summer's must-have product!
Excellent help for mosquito bites, sunburned skin and bruises. Wet the gauze and put it on the irritated skin. (Well NOW! A summer must-have product!)
4. Does your scalp itch?
Add to shampoo or spray on head before washing. Can help with dry and flaky scalp. (This goes to the spouse for a test.)
5. For oily skin
The astringent property of witch hazel makes it an excellent aid for reducing enlarged skin pores, so excellent if your skin is oily.
6. Help with hemorrhoids
Due to its astringent properties, it can also help in the treatment of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are usually also accompanied by inflammation and swelling of the veins, resulting in itching and bleeding. Spray on a cotton pad and put on the sore spot to soothe. (Possible relief for a sedentary worker? We also recommend drinking water and eating vegetables 😉 )
7. Antioxidant
The tannins in witch hazel water have antioxidant properties – antioxidants prevent skin damage.
8. Other beneficiaries
In addition to the above-mentioned properties, there are studies on possible benefits in the fight against skin infections caused by herpes and other viruses. I looked for studies on Pubmed and it requires further studies, but still an amazing set...)
Mandatory warnings and disclaimers
- Please note, if your skin is particularly sensitive and dry, try it on a small area first. The astringent property is not suitable for the driest skin types. Not necessarily suitable for rosacea skin either.
- Please also note that it is a natural product and therefore not suitable for everyone, the above benefits are not guaranteed, and do not work for everyone. You should try the product (like all new cosmetics) on a small area first and see if it irritates your little one. If you doubt the use of the product, you can also consult a dermatologist about the suitability of the product.
Final words
In conclusion, we can say from our own experience that it is a great product to have in everyone's closet. Witch hazel water is also suitable together with peppermint essential oil as a great cooling spray for the skin, if the sweat of pain has increased. Due to its versatility, the undersigned can spray it all over the body, especially in summer, and after shaving, the product is the best skin soother. With silky legs, I recommend trying the product yourself and verifying the effects.
Final tip, if there are more than one person in the household, you should already order two. This way you guarantee the availability of magic water even if the other person is on a summer trip.
