I have very sensitive skin- and I'm looking for something to wash my face with. A lot of the soaps are too harsh and cause my face to dry out-

Is there something natural I can use?

Thanks!

3 tablespoons of oatmeal
2 teaspoons of witch hazel
A few drops of water

Dampen the oatmeal first before adding the witch hazel and then add the water to make it moist. Apply to your face with a circular motion. Rinse with lots of warm water. If you have dry skin, you can add a little oil to the mixture.

One egg yolk, beaten until light and frothy
1/2 cup milk
1/2 avocado, peeled and mashed

Beat the mixture with a fork until you have a thin cream or lotion consistency. Apply with cotton balls as you would a cleanser.

I dont wash my face with soap just water as I have the same problem.

TKD--- are these safe to use every day? I will try the first one as it looks pretty simple--

Next question- is it something I can mix up and bottle and use for a few days? instead of making it each time?

Oatmeal is great for all skin types and definitely can be used everyday. It cleanses, exfoliates, moisturizes, and rejuvenates skin. Since you have sensitive skin and oatmeal has exfoliating properties, I'd try it once a day for the first few days just to see how your skin reacts to it. I think that it's best to make it fresh because you want the oatmeal to have a little texture to it.
