BEAUTY NATURAL WITCH HAZEL For Blemish-Free Skin “The next time you’re facing a breakout, give balancing and clarifying witch hazel a try.” W hile the warmer weather and longer days have been lovely, many people have been coming to me about their frustrations from breaking out due to the start of the new season. Being a practical Pitta, I instantly started brainstorming ways to help pacify these clients’ inflammation and blemishes. The best way to approach a situation like this is to purify the skin without drying it out.

Yes, we can worsen our acne when we try to treat it that way!
