A client with rosacea in Denver had a great result after I changed my approach to calming masks.

I've been mixing my own calming mask with colloidal oatmeal and aloe for a while, but it was just okay. Last week, I added a half teaspoon of raw honey from a local farm to the mix for a client with persistent redness. Her skin looked way less inflamed the next day, which I didn't expect at all. Has anyone else found honey to be a good add-in for sensitive skin routines?

Yeah, raw honey is a total game changer for that kind of irritation. I have pretty reactive skin myself and started using a thin layer of manuka honey as a wash-off mask a couple times a week. It doesn't fix everything, but the redness calms down a lot faster than it used to.

Oh man, I did the same thing with some local raw honey last year. My skin felt way less tight and angry after just a couple tries. It's not magic, but it definitely helps take the edge off.
