4 Effective Home Remedies For Sensitive Skin

Women who have sensitive skin are often worried about irritation caused due to the use of strong cosmetics or products which have too many chemicals in them. This makes it very difficult for them to take care of their skin and they may resort to natural products instead. Even though home remedies are safer than other chemical-based cosmetics, using harsh ones can lead to potential irritation. We have a list of home-made face packs which are safe to use on sensitive skin. But first, one needs to know if they really have sensitive skin.

# Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Fragrances in Your Skincare Routine
