My wife has always had sensitive skin. In the summertime it gets dry and irritated with the heat and she makes sure to stay out of the sun. You should see her collection of hats— her closet is like a milliner's shop. When she does venture outdoors, she picks the biggest hat she can find. Of course I never tell her this, but she looks like she belongs in a mariachi band. When she gets home she uses a product called Witch Hazel to sooth her dry skin.  She's always applying this fragrant lotion to her face and arms. My wife tells me there are many benefits of Witch Hazel. She says it instantly soothes her dry skin and returns softness to it. And, because it doesn't contain alcohol, it's perfect for people with sensitive skin. She buys the lotion from Fuller Brush Company.

In the past few weeks, even I've started using Witch Hazel. All I need is a few drops after I shave. It really does cool and sooth irritated skin and it helps with razor burn. Yesterday my wife caught me sneaking a few drops of her lotion and she told me to buy my own bottle. My own wife won't let me use her precious Witch Hazel. I told her she was right about the benefits of Witch Hazel, that it really does help sooth and cool damaged skin.  She says what did I expect? Apparently people have been using Witch Hazel products for hundreds of years to sooth their damaged skin. I hate to admit it, but my wife is a lot smarter than me. She tells me to contact Fuller Brush and order myself a bottle online.

There are many other benefits of Witch Hazel. My wife likes to use it give herself an inexpensive home facial. She just adds a few tablespoons of herbs to boiling water and allows the steam to rise into her face for a few minutes. This opens her pores and helps stave off dryness and irritation. After she rinses her face, she applies her Witch Hazel and she good to go. The natural lotion can also be used to sooth tired and aching muscles. When I get my own bottle, I plan on using it on my feet. As a postman, I'm walking just about every minute of the day and my feet are always angry with me. I get blisters, sores, and just general aches and pains. I've tried all sorts of inserts and shoes, but nothing seems to help. But when I get my Witch Hazel from Fuller Brush I'm sure my barking dogs will feel a lot better.
