Witch hazel regulates seborrhea: By tightening pores, the skin is purified, producing less sebum and therefore less oil. It regulates excessive perspiration by adding it to your deodorant preparations or spraying it directly onto areas of your body suffering from excessive perspiration. It is also a vein tonic, preventing phlebitis and relieving heavy legs and edema thanks to its leaves, which contribute to microcirculation. Finally, Hamamelis floral water acts on the scalp and helps fight dandruff. It can be applied alone or incorporated into your masks.
