Witch hazel

Witch hazel is a shrub and is widely known for its healing properties for the skin!  I want to tell you, I'm fair skinned.  SHOCK right?  I'm sure you guys could tell that from my pictures that I was.  In case you haven't read my other blogs, I insist you do so because I assure you I'm pretty pale.  I've always been this way, and it's mostly due to the fact that I'm Irish and French, but I'm sure my lack of sun has something to do with it as well!  ;)

I want to tell you my story and experience with Witch hazel.  This is a pretty recent story, actually; yesterday to be exact.  We went to the zoo for Father's Day and for something to do.  Honestly, we rarely get to go out and do things, so it was a nice change of pace!  I have to be careful when I go out into the sun.  My medication will give me quite the reaction.  I'll blame the medication for my fair skin as well.  Seems fair right? :P

Okay back to my story!  Texas is HOT!  Very HOT!  The zoo is mostly shaded because of this, I assume, but not completely.  I dressed up nice with a cute little halter top, hair up Lucy style, my cat eye sunglasses, skinny jeans, and animal print flats.  Well with that said, I had a little skin that was exposed.  I'm sure you know where I'm getting at with this.  I got a little burned.  I completely forgot to wear sunscreen!  Everyone noticed when we got home that I had gotten a little too much sun, but I remembered that I had bought some Witch hazel from the store the day before.

The Witch hazel I purchased isn't some fancy brand, it's just your every day off brand version of the slightly more expensive stuff.  Witch hazel really isn't that expensive, even for the name brand stuff but I'm always trying to save a little extra money.

Well, since I remembered that I purchased some I remembered hearing that it was good for sunburns!  I originally purchased it to use with my Baiden Mitten because Witch hazel works by helping to heal your skin, so it does make sense that it would work for sun burns.  This morning I showed my hubby my burns and he was surprised that there was a slight pink tint on probably about a fourth of my burn; the rest was slightly tanned!  Everyone was convinced it would get more pink and start to hurt, but neither happened.  I was really happy with that!

So, now you know a little more about Witch hazel and how it has worked for me for my sunburn.  I actually used it with my Baiden Mitten today and I'm seeing some good results.  The redness in my skin seems to be going away much faster than it normally does, and my skin tone seems to be evening out on my face as well.

I'll update more on my process with it, also I'll be discussing coconut oil as well!  <3
