People with sensitive skin require more demanding attention to their skin care routine than those with normal skin. They need skin care products with less chemicals, less fragrance, less additives, and less preservatives. Using these kinds of products can lower the risk of getting an allergic reaction and irritation to your skin. Although it is not very realistic to use only natural ingredients for fear of a breakout, it is possible to enjoy a wide variety of skin care products while reducing the risk of getting a bad reaction and irritation.
Keeping in mind that aside from skin care products, there are several foods and items that can trigger a negative reaction to your skin. The following are suggestions to avoid these problems:

- Try to avoid wearing wool and other synthetic fabrics. Wear cotton instead.
- Wash your face and hands after being close to irritating materials such as pollen or perfume.

- Wash new clothes at least twice before wearing them.
- Those who are allergic to dyes should steer clear from clothes that are made from nylon, spandex, acrylic, or polyester.
