Sensitive skin deserves extra care—and the best remedies often come from nature. If you experience redness, tightness, or stinging sensations, these 3 herbs may be just what your skin needs. Gentle, effective, and full of healing properties, these botanical heroes can transform your skincare routine.
Chamomile – Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory Hero

- Calms inflammation and redness
