When incorporating herbal extracts like chamomile into facials, I’ve found it really helps calm redness and irritation. Just remember, some clients might be sensitive, so patch testing is essential! Have you tried using any specific blends?
Herbal extracts can be game-changers. I’ve had great success with green tea in my facials; it boosts antioxidants and helps reduce inflammation. Just be aware that while it’s generally well-tolerated, some clients might still have reactions, so a patch test is key. I totally agree with @benj_thom on being cautious with sensitivities.
I’ve been using aloe vera gel in my facials for its soothing properties, especially for clients with sensitive skin. It not only hydrates but also helps speed up the healing process. Just keep in mind that not all herbal extracts will work for everyone, so it’s good to test on a small area first.
I love using chamomile in my masks! It’s super calming, especially after a busy week of facials. @Guide, have you tried mixing it with honey for extra hydration?
