5 Soothing Products for Sensitive Skin

Most of us have experienced sensitive skin to some degree at one point throughout our lives. If you’ve ever had red, irritated skin, or have experienced breakouts, you know the deal. We all want to avoid products that annoy our skin, so exploring the softer and gentler side of skincare products is a worthwhile endeavor. Here’s a sampling of personal care or skincare products to try if you’re contemplating taking a more natural route that’s gentle and effective, as well as free of fragrances and toxins.

Natural Dry Shampoo

Body Oil for All

When it comes to our skin, often the fewer the ingredients listed on the product, the better. Some of the best body oils from clean brands contain only a handful of natural ingredients that are gentle enough to moisturize a baby’s sensitive skin and leave it feeling soft and supple. Moms and dads sensitive to scents will also enjoy a fragrance-free baby oil that’s not greasy or pore-clogging. An ingredient such as organic calendula flower is excellent at soothing irritated or inflamed skin, for example.

Restorative Face Mask

Most women crave a good face mask formula that nourishes their skin and relieves redness or sensitivities instead of contributing to them. Seek a powerfully soothing spirulina face mask that contains spirulina (blue-green algae), colloidal oatmeal, and gotu kola as those ingredients work together to support stressed or damaged skin. A calm, balanced complexion is a happy, healthy face.

Soothing Facial Serum

In addition to a spirulina mask, another product that helps soothe sensitive skin is a high-quality daily facial serum. If you experience breakouts or redness, you may benefit from a clarifying serum with turmeric essential oil because it has excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. Other highly beneficial ingredients for addressing breakouts include manuka essential oil, marula oil, and green tea. Seek out a high-performing serum that’s suitable for your sensitive skin—some of the best brands even offer a soothing facial serum that also includes full-spectrum CBD oil.

Multipurpose Toner Spray

A toning spray that takes on a variety of tasks is pretty invaluable. Need a quick underarm refresher after the gym? No problem. What about a spray that soothes sensitive areas after shaving? Reach for your “everything” spray. Or, if you need a fresh mist to the face, use it as a toner. Ingredients to look for include organic lavender hydrosol to soothe and calm irritated skin; organic witch hazel, which is an astringent that tones the skin and reduces inflammation; and raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, which acts as an antibacterial and antifungal.

Natural Dry Shampoo

On the days you are in a hurry and don’t have time to wash and dry your hair, you need a natural dry shampoo you can count on. With a few sprinkles of a powder formula on your roots, you can revive limp locks and absorb excess oil while adding volume and texture to your hair. As for ingredients to seek out, organic arrowroot powder and kaolin clay are excellent at absorbing moisture. Meanwhile, grapefruit essential oil has natural cleansing properties and lavender is soothing to the scalp. If you have a sensitive, dry scalp, look for a non toxic dry shampoo that isn’t in an aerosol can (aerosols spray gas into the air and into your hair).
