At-Home Facial for Sensitive Skin

By: Kim Myers
Having sensitive skin is a very tricky and unique area. Many people are unable to use products that most of us can use because they may be more prone to breakouts, etc. If you are one of those individuals who have sensitive skin, try using products containing less than 10 ingredients. This is when natural and organic products come in handy. Two great companies for these types of products are "Arbonne" and "Jane Iredale". With sensitive skin, it’s best to alternate products every few weeks, therefore if you find a couple brands your skin can tolerate, it would be worth the investment.

Here is a list of your 5 key products to have available for sensitive skin:
facial wipes
eye makeup remover
a light moisturizer
chemical-free sunscreen
hydrocortisone cream (anything over 1% must be prescribed).

Use these ingredients to make your own soothing facial mask at home:
1 cup natural yogurt
½ cup oatmeal
Blend the oatmeal and yogurt together. Mix well and apply to skin for approximately 10 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

Note: Try to avoid using products that contain fragrances, especially ones that go on the facial area.
