Isn't witch hazel a general astringent for treating wounds?

According to wikipedia:

Quote:
Externally applied astringents, which cause mild coagulation of skin proteins, dry, harden, and protect the skin. Acne sufferers are often advised to use astringents if they have oily skin. [1] Astringents also help heal stretch marks and other scars[citation needed]. Mild astringent solutions are used in the relief of such minor skin irritations as those resulting from superficial cuts, allergies, insect bites, or fungal infections such as athlete's foot

How long were you outside? Why didn't you wear your sun tan lotion like a good girl?

thanks for making my brain explode yet again..

and yes, I had lotion on, and yes, witch hazel soothes the burn and makes the blistering less than it should be..Nectar draws bees and WHO WANTS THAT? lol..
I was outside for about 3 hours.
