Herbal Remedies for Sensitive Skin

Herbal remedies are very good for sensitive skin, because they are free from the harsh chemicals that can cause skin problems. Generally, products that contain natural ingredients will be better for your skin and less likely to cause a sensitive skin reaction. Try the following remedies for some special sensitive skin care.

• Use almond or jojoba oil to cleanse your face.
• Comfrey steeped in water can make a good toner.
• Make a facial exfoliate by mixing grapefruit with oatmeal.
• Make a face mask out of fruit.
• Cucumber and yoghurt also makes a good face mask for sensitive skin.
• Licorice is a good product for sensitive skin. Look for skin care products that contain licorice.
• Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help prevent sensitive skin reactions.
• Aloe Vera can soothe skin that is red, irritated and blotchy. Apply directly to the skin.

Even when using natural products, people with sensitive skin need to be careful. As some sensitive skin reactions are caused by allergies, even organic products may cause an adverse reaction in someone. Check every product on a small area of your skin first, and stop using a product if it seems to be triggering the symptoms associated with sensitive skin.
