How to Use: Witch hazel leaves contain tannins, which have astringent properties that can help tighten and tone the skin. To use witch hazel leaves topically, you can: Prepare a decoction by boiling witch hazel leaves in water for about 10-15 minutes. Allow the decoction to cool before applying it to the skin. Apply the cooled witch hazel decoction to the skin using a cotton ball or pad. It can be used as a natural toner to help cleanse the skin and tighten pores. Witch hazel leaves can also be infused in carrier oils to create homemade skincare products such as creams, lotions, or balms. Skin Irritations: Witch hazel leaves may help soothe minor skin irritations such as insect bites, minor burns, or rashes. You can apply a cooled witch hazel leaf decoction directly to the affected area or use a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel extract. Hair Care: Witch hazel leaves can be used in hair care preparations to help maintain scalp health and promote shine. You can prepare a witch hazel leaf rinse by steeping the leaves in hot water, allowing the mixture to cool, and then using it as a final rinse after shampooing.(When using witch hazel leaves medicinally, it's essential to ensure that you're using the correct species of witch hazel and that the leaves are harvested from a reputable and pesticide-free source. Additionally, it's always a good idea to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying any new herbal preparation to larger areas of the body, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional).
