Here are some simple personal health care tips on caring for sensitive skin:
*Do not use too many different cosmetics.

*Do not over-wash your skin.

*Use mild cleansers and moisturisers that have fewer chemicals.

*Use hypo-allergenic and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) skin care products.

*Always apply sunscreen (minimum SPF-15) before you go out into the sun.

*Use water based make up rather than oil based ones.

*Avoid experimenting with cosmetics. If a product does not irritate your skin, stick to it!

*Never change your entire skin care regimen all at once. Introduce products one at a time to determine which ones you react to.

*Refrain from mixing skin care brands.

*Do a patch test of new products by using testers on your forearm or behind the ear. Only buy items you are not allergic to.

*If possible. consult a dermatologist before trying out new skin care product.
