Sensitive Skin Care - Homemade recipe for sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin do not use facial washes or soap; instead use a light, hypoallergenic cleansing lotion. Use a moisturiser to strengthen your skin and provide a barrier against irritants. Make sure you use an unperfumed moisturiser so as not to irritate your skin.
Homemade Facial Mask for sensitive skin
Warm a small pot of honey in a double boiler, then test a small amount on your hand to make sure it's not too hot. When warm, apply the honey generously over your entire face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm, then cool water.
Mashed cucumber and yoghurt together, add clay powder to smooth the mixture. Leave the mask 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. A cooling, soothing and toning mask.

Special tips
- Look for hypoallergenic products that are scent free.
- Before trying a new product do a patch test. Rub a good amount on to your shoulder and leave it one overnight. If there is no sign of irritation, apply some to your neck and wait again. If there is no reaction, then the product will probably be safe to use on your face.
