How to soothe your skin: 4 ways to relax

From redness to dryness and itching, sensitive skin can be uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are many products, tips, and tricks that can help alleviate this burden. Here are four of the most effective ways to soothe your skin: 

Stay away from known irritants.

If you have chronically sensitive skin, you can opt for gentle, fragrance-free products whenever possible. You can also isolate products you suspect may irritate your skin by testing them on a small area and then discarding them if they cause redness or swelling.

Come out of the sun.

The sun can aggravate skin irritation, so those with sensitive skin should consider looking for shade and applying sunscreen, especially when the skin is already irritated. 

Apply moisturizer.

The lotion can be a real salvation for irritated skin, which is often caused by dryness and exacerbated by stress, exposure to the sun or even wind. A soothing moisturizer can help hydrate the skin. In addition, the surface will look smooth and pleasant to the touch.

Try a Home Remedy.

If you're worried that the cleaners in your closet might be too harsh, there are plenty of simple and easy kitchen cleaners that can do the same. Try putting chamomile tea bags or cucumber slices on the affected area for a possible soothing and cooling effect.
