If you’re lucky enough to have sensitive skin as I do, your life is a never-ending quest for products that actually work but don’t trigger an allergic reaction. You know the drill – a gentle cleanser, the right make up, avoiding products with fragrance, and the like. In my neverending pursuit for the safest, most effective products for sensitive skin, I stumbled upon the wonderful world of face masks. Let me tell you… I love face masks! No… I really LOVE face masks - whether in sheet form, clay, splash or gel. I can’t go a week without having my face mask fix. It’s the perfect treatment for anyone with a harried routine. It provides quick results. Unfortunately, store-bought face masks and face products are either a hit or miss. And let’s be real, most of these products cost an arm! Which is why after trying tons of face masks, I’ve come to the conclusion that the safest and smartest bets are DIY face masks for sensitive skin!

The benefits are simply amazing. Green tea (matcha) has been proven to have a variety of health benefits including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer prevention. It even encourages weight loss. Matcha as an ingredient for skin products, contains many anti-inflammatory effects. What You’ll Need: 1 teaspoon matcha powder or loose green tea leaves from a tea bag 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon jojoba oil or sweet almond oil How to prepare and apply: Combine matcha powder / loose tea leaves, honey, and oil in a small bowl.

Grate the cucumber just enough to squeeze 1 to 2 teaspoons of cucumber juice. (you may want to slice a few for your eyes) Heat the honey at low until liquefied. Mix all ingredients and allow to cool.

These DIY face masks for sensitive skin take a lot of guesswork out of the equation. You know exactly what goes onto your face, and you can be sure that all ingredients are natural and non-toxic.
