Home remedies for sensitive skin: 

Sensitive skin is a common problem with many different causes. The most common culprits for sensitive skin are allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. In addition to avoiding the triggers mentioned above, it’s also helpful to use gentle cleansers and moisturizers that will hydrate without irritating your skin further. Here are three options worth considering:

Potato Mask: A potato mask is one of the most common home remedies for sensitive skin. All you need to do is peel a potato and cut it into small cubes (one-half inch). Put these on your face gently for 20 minutes before rinsing off with water. It will draw out toxins from within your pores while also providing nutrients that will hydrate dry patches of skin. You’ll see results in about an hour after using this mask once or twice weekly.

Raw Milk: Raw milk is an excellent option for sensitive skin because it carries all the nutrients and enzymes that help heal irritated or damaged tissue. In addition to drinking, you can also put raw milk on your face as a mask before bedtime for maximum benefits. Be sure not to leave this one on too long so that you don’t dry out your already-sensitive skin even more!

Aloe Vera: One woman’s solution to her sensitive skin was aloe vera!! This substance is found in most medicine cabinets across America but works best when applied directly from an actual plant and with no additional ingredients added (like moisturizer). Please make sure both sides are exposed at once by peeling off two strips of leaves, then apply them gently to your skin. Let the juice do its magic for 20 minutes before rinsing off with water.

Tea: Brew a cup of tea with chamomile, green, black, or white. Let the liquid cool before applying it to your skin and letting it dry for fifteen minutes. The tannic acid in the tea soothes your skin as well as is antioxidant-rich. Many other herbs have been used historically on sensitive skin, such as lavender, rosemary, and sage which you can try out depending on what’s available near you!

You have to be consistent in your skincare routine. For example, if you don’t exfoliate your skin twice a week and only do it once, the dead cells will become too much for your natural oil to handle. The best way to get the benefits of a home remedy is by using it consistently. There are other tips that you can follow for beautiful skin:
