Skin Care Tip: Aloe Vera gel for sensitive skin

I have fair and very sensitive skin that reddens very easily. Just going out in bright sunlight or up a set of stairs or being flustered will turn me bright pink! Skin care is especially problematic as I also have large and easily clogged pores, and so the usual treatments like steaming or scrubs or masks or peels also make me quite red. I usually schedule these at a time when I'm not going out all day so that my skin can calm down. This can really cramp my schedule! I have, however, discovered that the reddening can be calmed in just a few minutes with a liberal application of Aloe Vera gel. The gel can be found in drugstores, especially in the after-sun lotion sections; there's no need to buy an expensive brand. I smear a thick layer on my clean face (I don't rub it in); lie down for 5 minutes while it dries and then rinse with cool water. The effect is amazing and lasts for hours. the pores are tighter, but my face isn't dry and the redness is GONE!
