| - | Masks for sensitive skin By Lisa Kramer | Summary: Sensitive skin is, well, very sensitive. What that means is that if you do not use the right product, since the skin is very sensitive, it will react violently. So it is much better to do your research first and figure out if a specific product that you are going to use is right for sensitive skin. Here are some tips on masks for sensitive skin. | | | | |
| The objective of using a mask is to protect, soothe and combat inflammation and irritation on the skin. Sensitive skin needs very refreshing and calming ingredients that will not shock or irritate it. This skin is temperamental and does not like surprises. (Related article: Pumpkin facial)
Sensitive skin has little tolerance for fragrance and color in cosmetic products. Some brands with masks for this skin type are Neutrogena, Decleor, Dr. Brandt, La Praire, Pevonia, Dr. Perricone and others. (Related: Skin treatments)
At home you may use Aloe Vera with a couple of drops of blue chamomile essential oil.
Pear (about half), 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of buttermilk. You may add some oats if the consistency is too watery.
Mashed avocado is very hydrating if your skin is not prone to acne.
White clay. One spoon of white clay, one teaspoon of honey, one spoon of a hydrosol, such as rose water or lavender water and optional ½ teaspoon of Aloe Vera. Apply over clean face, leave it on the skin for 10 minutes and put wet cottons on the eyes. Take it off with warm water. | | |
