Natural skin care tips for sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin, you probably know the frustration of trying product after product, only to find that it irritates your skin or you have some kind of reaction to it. You may even have tried natural skin care products claiming to be mild, gentle and healing to sensitive skin… only to find that again you reacted to the product.
Many skin care products claiming to be all natural really aren’t natural at all. That’s because the word “natural” is not legally defined for skin care products and manufacturers can use “natural” to mean anything they want. Yes, it’s misleading, and that’s why it’s so important to be informed so you know how to identify truly natural skin care products.
My top recommendation for natural skin care products for sensitive skin is to choose skin care products that are certified organic, preferably to the USDA National Organic Program standards.
For best results, follow these steps:
Cleanse with a gentle, all natural skin care product, specially formulated for sensitive skin with healing herbs and essential oils.
Once a week, use a gentle exfoliant to gently remove dead skin cells and promote a glowing and wholesome skin tone.
Use a mineral mask, also once a week, to draw toxins from below the skin surface to refresh your skin and give it a clear and healthy complexion. Make sure you condition and moisturize after using the mask to prevent your skin from dehydrating.
Always use a skin conditioner or toner, made specially for sensitive skin, after cleansing to nourish your skin and provide a base to lock in the moisturizer.
Moisturize your skin to restore and repair damaged skin and protect against free radical damage and moisture loss.
The all natural and organic skin care products from Australia, by Miessence are my top pick for sensitive skin care. Follow the links below for more details and complete instructions on their use and how to get the greatest benefit from them.
If you use these products and still find that you are getting a reaction, then it is likely that you may need to look at your diet and improving your health.
