And its mild formula makes it an excellent option for any type of a skin. If that isn't reason enough, it also prevents ingrowths.
Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea contains a strong amount of antioxidants and antibacterial properties that desensitize highly inflamed and irritated skin. Make chamomile tea, allow it to cool in room temperature.
