Treating Skin Redness and Sensitivity

Nothing is more frustrating than having sensitive skin that is constantly red and irritated. The problem is that you can't even put anything on your face to try to correct it because you are pretty sure you will have a bad reaction to it.

The indications for skin redness and sensitivity are pretty obvious: flushing, burning skin,  Eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, reactive skin, chafing after shaving or “razor burn”.

What's the Real Cause of Sensitive Skin?

Healthy skin can be compared to a window screen where everything is tightly held together and nothing can get past what's called the "lipid barrier". When openings in the barrier occur, it means irritants are getting through and causing the inflammation and irritation which results in unhealthy skin.

Some of the causes for unhealthy skin are genetic, but they can also come from environmental stressors and allergies. For people who suffer from a sensitive skin condition, they really need skin care that is pretty pure; i.e. no fragrance, no soap or surfactants, no alcohol and no  artificial colors.

It's pretty hard to find a skin care product that meets all those conditions and still does the job of cleaning and mosturizing your skin. Yes, you could use  some of the organic skin care products but the problem there is that most are really expensive and their shelf life is not very long.

There is one product you can try that comes from a flower. It was originally developed and tested to see if it would help with cancer patients but it was revealed that it had skin care benefits. It may help with your sensitive skin!
