Having your skin look all red, having rashes and dry scaly looking skin is very uncomfortable and unsettling. Trying to find moisturizers that don’t add to the problem or that simply don’t provide healing and improvement is difficult for people with sensitive skin.

Many people have sensitive skin and suffer from allergic reactions like rashes, redness and other skin irritations. People with especially sensitive skin are also likely to burn easily in the sun. One of the results of skin sensitivity and allergic reaction is eczema..

I have a good friend that has extremely sensitive skin and has struggled with eczema, skin rashes, irritation and having to cover her skin from sight. She used to use cosmetics to cover up areas she couldn’t cover with clothing. She grew to be very self conscious about how her skin looks. She has tried tons of different moisturizers and has had limited success with healing and protection. The emotional stress of having unsightly skin also has contributed to her skin conditions.

Looking for a moisturizer that will really work to both heal the skin and provide protection against drying and allergic reactions is often a difficult process. Finding skin care formulas and products that really work for sensitive skin is not easy. I suggest wildcrafted and organic, chemical free products, products without dyes and added fragrance. Pure unadulterated formulas that don’t have any synthetic or chemical ingredients.

After searching and experimenting for years with moisturizers my friend finally found some organic moisturizers that do no harm and have helped her body heal her skin and maintain a healthy clear look.

Many of the more commercial mainstream products have many of the chemicals and additives that are most troublesome for people with sensitive skin. Many products available today are ineffective or may even do more harm than good. Your skin deserves to be treated with effective and natural products – not harmful chemicals, preservatives or other synthetic agents. Look out for damaging chemicals and preservatives, alcohol, harsh detergents, waxes, mineral oil, lanolin, artificial fragrances and colors. Most preservatives and fillers in most skin care and cosmetic products are potential irritants.

Look for organic and wildcrafted moisturizers that use plant based preservatives like grapefruit seed extract. Also a moisturizer should offer nourishment for the skin as well as moisture, healing and skin protection from the sun and elements.

Look for a moisturizer with the botanicals and essential fatty acids to repair and lock in moisture, fortifying the skin’s natural lipid moisture barrier. The Rainforest fern Samambaia (polypodium) shields skin from harmful environmental factors and reduces the appearance of premature aging associated with exposure to the sun. The bioflavonoids in Passion Flower Seed Oil provide additional antioxidant protection.

Using skin care products high in antioxidants is a must for healthy skin and for protection from environmental pollutants we all encounter in everyday living.

Along with a moisturizer it is important to also treat your skin to an organic mild cleanser to clean your skin deep down and an organic exfoliator to remove the dead skin. An exfoliator gently removes dead, dull skin cells on the surface of your skin, making way for new skin. The following are some natural botanicals and other ingredients that can combine to formulate an effective healing and nourishing moisturizer for sensitive skin.

Structured Water, Non-GMO Soya Lecithin, Maracuja Seed, Rosehip Seed, Castanha do Brasil, Andiroba, Olive Squalane, Mauritia Fruit, Mango Butter, Aloe Vera Gel, Panthenol, Carageenans (Marine algae), Marine Algae (laminaria digitata chlorella vulgaris), Vegetable Glycerine, Plant Carbohydrate Complex, Vitamin E Oil, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Xanthan Gum Glyceryl Caprylate

Extracts of: Samambaia, Sangre de Drago, Uña de Gato, Suma, Camu Camu, Espinheira Santa, Horsetail, Jatoba
100% Essential Oils: Elemi, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Citrus Blend, Melissa
Essential Oil Extract of: Rosemary, Oregano, Cinnamon Bark, Goldenseal, Lavender.

The emotional relief that comes from feeling good about how you look, especially how your skin looks can make all the difference in how you feel about yourself and your level of self confidence.

If you have been using more commercial products that have harmed your skin, or if you have eczema, acne or other skin conditions you can get relief and heal your skin. What you put on your skin impacts its health and condition. Even if you’re using skin care products with questionable ingredients, there is good news. Thankfully, your skin is a very rejuvenating organ. Pure nourishing organic products have been consciously formulated to nourish your skin back into harmony. I hope this article has provided some clarity and help in understanding and choosing a moisturizer especially for anyone with sensitive skin.
