How to take care of sensitive skin daily
You have to be careful of the products you use if you have sensitive skin as harsh chemicals irritate the skin. People with sensitive skin should forgo rough facials and treatments like chemical peels.
If you have a sudden rash or irritation on sensitive skin, you should use a homemade compress to soothe the skin immediately. For the compress, mix equal parts of milk and water and soak a cloth in the same. Use this cloth as a compress. You can also add a tablespoon of aloe-vera gel to the mix for instant results.
Make sure you keep your skin clean. Wash with cold water when you come from a polluted environment and only use gentle face washes for your skin, twice a day.
Enjoy these sensitive skin face wash recipes that are gentle enough to take care of your skin, but tough enough to clean it thoroughly.
