We remember using witch hazel when we were teenagers for problematic breakouts—our moms recommended it because it was something they’d used as well. Witch hazel has been around for centuries and has a myriad of uses—it is an astringent that can be used for everything from skin and haircare to cuts and scrapes, bug bites, and even diaper rash, as it is loaded with antioxidants. If you’re looking for something that is soothing, effective, and natural to use on your face, scalp, and more, check out these great witch hazels. —Jennifer Cox
