Hello lovelies🌻! Welcome to my blog where I’ll be discussing natural skincare for sensitive skin. As someone who’s dealt with sensitive skin all their life, I’ve had my fair share of reactions and breakouts from just about anything. Over time, I’ve learned what products work best for me, and I’m excited to share them with you. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let’s dive right in!

Understanding Sensitive Skin🌿

Sensitive skin is often characterized by redness, itchiness, and dryness, and can be triggered by various factors such as harsh chemicals, fragrances, and even stress. It’s important to figure out what’s causing sensitivity in your skin to avoid further damage.

🌻 Tips:

  • Keep a journal of when your skin reacts and what products/foods you’ve used/ate that day.
  • Avoid harsh fragrances and chemicals in products.
  • Use gentle and natural products that are free of sulfates, parabens, and other harsh chemicals.
  • Manage stress levels with self-care and relaxation techniques, as stress can also trigger sensitivity in the skin.

DIY Skincare🌸

Sometimes, the best skincare products are the ones you make yourself. Plus, with DIY skincare, you know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. Here are some recipes that have worked best for me:

Honey and Yogurt Mask:

  • Mix equal parts unflavored yogurt and honey.
  • Apply the mixture onto your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
  • Rinse with cool water and pat dry.

Oatmeal and Banana Mask:

  • Mash a ripe banana and mix with ½ cup of oatmeal.
  • Apply the mixture on your face and leave on for 10-15 minutes.
  • Rinse with cool water and pat dry.

🌻Tips:

  • Avoid using harsh exfoliants such as sugar and salt on the face and opt for gentler options such as oatmeal.
  • Do a patch test before using any DIY products.
  • Store any leftover DIY products in a clean, airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
