Orange peel is rich in vitamin C, so it's often used in skin care products because of its potent antioxidant properties. You'll find some products on the market that contain it, but you can also make a treatment yourself at home if your skin is easily irritated. Some people recommend blending rosewater with orange peel to soothe sensitive skin - you may want to try that.

Cold pressing does increase an oil's benefits, which is why if you're shopping around you should keep an eye on the more expensive cold-pressed oils as opposed to the cheap brands. For recipes on making creams, I recommend visiting our products page for directions on several different projects.

Sensitive skin is tricky! Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to find something that really works. Good luck.

Does lemon or orange peel oil have vitamin c and is it good for the skin? Any scientific studies?

Do oils need to be cold pressed to be beneficial?

How about emu oil/cream?

How can a person make a great vitimin rich cream?

My skin is easily irritated and I don't know what from. It feels like a sunburn. But it may be caused by low humidity, dust/diesel in the air in rural Montana, pollution in Yokohama Japan, and iron in rural well water. Kinerase and petroleum jelly don't rid the irritation. I feel maybe cold cream might work but most likely not.

I disagree about Bare Minerals but really liked Jane Iredale makeup.

Joe, sorry to hear about your skin concerns. Sensitive skin is practically intolerable when it flares up. The red patches on your face could be mere irritation to a product you regularly use, an allergy to something you are regularly exposed to or even eczema. I would recommend using facial products formulated specifically for sensitive skin. You may need to test a few products to settle on the ones that are right for you; remember to do a patch test prior to using a product for the first time.
