Sulfur

Topical sulfur gently calms rosacea and hand eczema by easing redness, itching, dryness, and burning without causing harsh side effects. It suits both dry skin and oily skin particularly well when applied in soothing masks, which usually contain a strength of ten percent. Because it layers easily, this treatment integrates smoothly into any existing daily routine.
