Dry and sensitive skin can be pretty tricky when it comes to pore cleansing. The problem with this skin type is that it is very easy to get irritated so cleaning must be done extremely carefully. Cosmetic products with a lot of soap or too abrasive microelements must be avoided because they can make the skin even more sensitive, red and dry. Natural, mild exfoliants are definitely the best choice here but I’m sure those sky-high prices of natural cosmetics would make anybody faint!

Well, if we are talking about nature- you don’t need a famous company mixing it and serving it to you packed for the ridiculously high price! Everything your skin needs to be smooth, radiant and blackhead-free can be found in your kitchen cabinet or the nearest grocery store. Your dry skin will especially appreciate fresh natural components without any chemicals added. Try some of these masks and you will be amazed how efficient they are. In fact, they are so yummy you will want to eat them instead of putting them on the face( And you can do that!).

Milk and sugar scrub

Milk and sugar will feed and exfoliate the dry skin. Milk contains AH acids that dissolve dirt and help dead skin cells be removed better. Once the dead cells and dirt are washed off, skin will be able to breathe and renew better. Grayish, dull shade will disappear and the skin will be smoother and more radiant. Mix three teaspoons of milk with one teaspoon of sugar. Feel free to add more sugar or milk if needed because the mass you get should be paste-like. Apply the paste on your face in gentle, circular, massage-like moves and then rinse with lukewarm water. Apply a thin film of moisturizer to soothe the skin.

Honey and sugar cleansing mask

Honey is known for its antibacterial and nourishing properties. This mask is ideal for dry skin but it can be used for other skin types too. Mix one teaspoon of honey, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of yellow sugar. Apply the mixture and gently massage you face. This will unclog the pores and remove dirt. Leave the paste on for 5-10 minutes for honey to soak into skin. When you remove the mask you won’t believe how much softer the skin on your face will be.
