However, that's not all. Pure Vetiver Hydrosol works as an excellent anti-bacterial and antiseptic agent. Thus, it acts as a replacement for harsh astringents and toners. But did you know that it can also be used as a natural aftershave ?
Drugstore aftershaves contain alcohol in them. All of them claim to control infections due to cuts. However, the alcohol in them is one of the major irritants to the skin. After shaving, your epidermis gets exposed and is sensitive at this stage. Treating your bare skin with alcohol dries out all the moisture from it. But a face that has been freshly shaved face needs some cooling agent, which can help with cuts and scratches. This is where Pure Vetiver Hydrosol benefits largely.
