I have sensitive skin and trying different skin care products has made no difference.

I have been advised to only use products that do not contain alcohol, retinoids or alphahydroxy acids, antibacterial or deodorant ingredients, fragrance and products that contain only a few ingredients.

Nevertheless, whatever product I have used, they still cause stinging, tightness, redness and at times, burning.

So I've taken my auntie's advise and I am now trying several natural home remedies that to my surprise, have been quite helpful and refreshing....
