I had totally forgotten about witch hazel. I will get some, I love the smell of it. My mom used it a lot, I cannot remember why, I just remember the smell.
Sharon, maybe bugs don't like you because you use witch hazel. Perhaps its a bug repellant as well?
Good tip for the dogs, I use hydrogen peroxide on them mostly and if they have a rash I use coconut oil but may try this as they love the coconut oil and I have to hold them for awhile so they do not lick it off.
