How to Determine if Your Skin is Sensitive

Identifying sensitive skin is important for choosing the right skincare products. Here are some common signs to help you determine if your skin is sensitive:

a. Reacts to Products: Sensitive skin often reacts adversely to certain skincare products or ingredients, causing redness, itching, or irritation.

b. Frequent Redness: If your skin frequently appears red or flushed, especially after exposure to products, weather, or environmental factors, it may be sensitive.

c. Easily Irritated: Sensitive skin can be prone to irritation from external factors such as harsh weather, pollution, or even fabric contact.

d. Dry and Itchy: Dryness, tightness, and itching can be signs of sensitivity, especially if these symptoms persist despite using moisturizers.

e. Prone to Breakouts: Sensitive skin may be more prone to breakouts or rashes, particularly when exposed to irritating substances.

f. Reactive to Temperature Changes: If your skin reacts strongly to changes in temperature, such as becoming red or irritated in the heat or cold, it could indicate sensitivity.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to use gentle, hypoallergenic skincare products and consult with a dermatologist for a more accurate assessment.

Steps: DIY Natural Face Wash for Sensitive Skin

When I prepared the article for this recipe, I used a liquid natural soap made of both pure olive oil and laurel oil. Since this soap combination might not be readily available, I am specifying the use of authentic Castile soap made from pure olive oil, which is equally effective.

1- Begin by measuring out 100 milliliters (3.38 fl oz) of authentic Castile soap.

2- Transfer the measured Castile soap into the pump bottle.

3- Using a pipette (dropper), add 3 drops of avocado oil to the Castile soap.

4- Add 3 drops of sweet almond oil to the mixture.

5- Add 3 drops of jojoba oil as well.

6- Screw on the cover of the pump bottle and shake thoroughly to ensure the carrier oils are well combined with the Castile soap.

7- Your DIY Natural Face Wash for Sensitive Skin is now complete and ready to use!
