If you have skin allergies and prefer natural solutions, creating a homemade moisturizer tailored for sensitive skin is a great approach. Gram flour (besan) is excellent for cleansing and soothing the skin, and you can complement it with simple, effective moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and calm.
Homemade Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin:
Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera is soothing, hydrating, and ideal for sensitive, allergy-prone skin. Use fresh aloe gel or a pure store-bought option. It’s lightweight and helps reduce redness and irritation.
Coconut Oil with Rose Water: Mix a few drops of organic coconut oil with rose water for a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. Coconut oil locks in moisture, while rose water has calming properties.
Shea Butter and Almond Oil: Blend a teaspoon of shea butter with a few drops of almond oil. This is a richer option, perfect for dry, irritated skin.
Cucumber and Honey Gel: Mix cucumber juice with honey for a light, natural moisturizer that cools the skin and reduces inflammation.
Additional Tips:
Avoid harsh chemicals and fragrances in products.
Use cool water for washing your face.
Drink plenty of water and include skin-friendly foods like nuts, seeds, and green vegetables in your diet.
These natural remedies can help keep your skin soft and allergy-free.

Alright, let's get into your skin situation. So, with skin allergies, less is more, and it's great you're using gram flour—it’s awesome for gentle cleansing and acts like an exfoliant too. Now, for a homemade moisturizer, you'll want something balancing and soothing.
First thing, honey is superb. It's naturally hydrating and also antibacterial. Just take about half a teaspoon and gently apply it on your face, chill for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off with lukewarm water. Simple as that. Honey works well with most skin types, even if you're dealing with allergies.
But if you’re looking for something a bit more like a lotion, try this combo: coconut oil (in moderation) and a few drops of aloe vera gel. Both are very calming. Take a small dab of coconut oil (we’re talking a pea size), and mix it up with some fresh aloe vera gel (squeeze it out directly from the leaf if you can). Lightly massage it into your face till it’s absorbed.
If your skin's sensitive to coconut oil (some people break out, you might not), then substitute it with jojoba oil, it's a lot similar to our skin’s natural oil and lighter.
And there's a super added booster - turmeric. Just a tiny pinch mixed into your moisturizer can soothe irritation. But don’t overdo it, turmeric can stain.
Timing's key here too - try this routine before bedtime, when your skin's in repair mode. Do a patch test, by the way, for any new ingredient, elbow or wrist is a good spot.
Since your skin is reactive, do keep noticing what seems like a trigger, whether diet or stress or something touching your face. Balanced diet, some yoga, good sleep, all makes a difference. Sometimes allergies are just signals pointing toward some underlying imbalance. Stay mindful of those broader cues too.
Ah, and if there’s any sign of severe reaction or it’s not getting better at all, consulting directly with a dermatologist or Ayurvedic practitioner could be next step.
