Witch hazel is a natural astringent and reduces skin irritation and inflammation. Rosemary and tea tree have antimicrobial and astringent (skin tightening, pore reducing) properties, and rosemary helps tone skin by boosting circulation. Lavender is soothing to the skin and helps reduce redness. Geranium helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles and promotes a glowing appearance. Read the labels on one’s essential oils to ensure they are pure, therapeutic grade.
