This is my favorite face mask for sensitive skin. Use it as often as you like.
Apply a thin layer of plain milk of magnesia, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, rinse off w/ cool water & a clean wash cloth. Plain milk of magnesia will absorb excess oil & temporarily tighten pores.

Aloe vera gel mixed with 2 drops of tea tree essential oil works really well and has been shown in studys to improve acne. Doing scrubs is not good for acne at all because it irritates acne so I use warm oatmeal with a little bit of honey to exfoliate which is more gently. A french "green" clay mask works very well also. It removes impurities from deep within and your acne may get worse before it gets better using the french clay. French clay also helps to shrink pores. You should try an organic cleanser. (You can get them at a health food store.) I use a herbal astringent recipe from "The herbal body book" by Stephanie Tourles which you can get cheap on half.com. Works really good and is so soothing. Use a oil free moisturizer at might on your face, neck and chest. Try taking vitamins A, E, D, C, Bcomplex (or B5) vitamin & Zinc. Also eat healthy lean meats, fresh fruits and vegtables. Boxed foods and fast food will make it so much worse! Hope this helps!!

My husband swears by neutrogena - and he has the craziest most sensitive skin ever!
But then I started distributing a line called Arbonne.
I had him try the men's products, and he loves them. It is a Swiss line with highest quality ingredients. Costs more than what you'll buy in the drugstore, but less than what you'd find at the department store. AND if you take some before and after photos, you could make some money with it too. contact me if you want more info. Otherwise, try neutrogena men's stuff.

NO scrubs!

banana skin: massage on neck and gently on face
fresh mashed papaya. leave on face until dry, wash with water.
clean face with warm milk. leave until dry and wash with water.
in pharmacy buy kaolin
mix 1 table spoon with water to a paste and apply on face until dry, wash with water.
use only water based moiturisers and primrose oil capsules around eyes and other wrinkle prone areas.

I suggest ivory soap! it's 99.99% pure soap...that you can get a wal-mart or your local supermart! use it twice a day in the shower or whatever and pat dry...then use a non pore clogging lotion like olay and it'll clear up in no time
