(#1) Keep Your Skin Clean With Gentle Cleansers
No matter what your skin type, it's important to keep it clean. There are many different types of facial cleansers available for any budget you may have. Try to find cleansers which are fragrance-free and alcohol-free, as both of those ingredients are likely to cause skin irritation. If you have allergies, be sure to avoid cleansers that have ingredients that might trigger an allergic reaction. For example, if you suffer from hay fever, avoid products with lavender or chamomile, as they can trigger a reaction. Look for a cleanser that is labeled as hypoallergenic to avoid unwanted irritation.

(#3) Read The Labels On Your Products
Knowing the ingredients in makeup and learning what to avoid is essential for people with sensitive skin. One of the main ingredients to avoid are parabens. Parabens are used mainly as a preservative to prevent bacteria in water-based makeup products. However, the ingredient is thought to cause issues with human hormonal balance, which can in turn wreck havoc on your skin. Countries such as Denmark have banned the ingredient from being used in their country, and more countries are expected to follow suit.
Other ingredients to avoid in makeup include silicones, which are used to give products a smooth, creamy texture, and sodium lauryl sulfate, a lathering agent that can be irritating to sensitive skin.

(#5) Protect Your Sensitive Skin From Harmful UV Rays
If you have sensitive skin be sure to protect your face and body from too much sun. If you plan on being outside for a while, use sunscreen with a strong SPF. Wear a hat and sunglasses to keep the sun from your face. It also wouldn't hurt to take an umbrella if you intend on being outdoors for an extended period of time.
It should go without saying, but even if you don't have sensitive skin, sun protection is crucial. Opt for a foundation or gentle sunscreen with SPF in it for daily use, even if you spend most of your day indoors.

(#6) Use A Good Exfoliating Scrub Regularly
Exfoliating scrubs are great for any type of skin and should be included weekly in any beauty regimen. Exfoliation removes dry and dead skin cells and also helps many common skin problems. The scrubbing action also stimulates blood flow, which helps nutrients reach your skin, keeping it soft and supple. Start with a weekly exfoliation, and if your skin seems to like it, you can do it two to three times a week. Just don't overdo it, as that can make sensitive skin really irritated.
Don't want to buy an expensive exfoliating scrub? No problem! There are many DIY recipes for making your own exfoliator. One simple recipe includes 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Combine the two ingredients in a bowl and mix until it turns into a paste. After washing your face, apply the scrub to your face using a gentle circular motion. Wash off with warm water.

(#8) Keep Your Skin Moisturized
Sensitive skin easily turns dry during the colder weather months. The best way to prevent dry and flaky skin is by using a gentle moisturizer. Other things that may help with dry skin include taking a lukewarm bath instead of hot, investing in a good humidifier for your home, and drinking plenty of water.
It is a common misconception that folks with sensitive oily or acne-prone skin should not use moisturizer. If you skip the moisturizer, your sensitive skin will go into oil-production overload to replenish the oils you stripped off your skin and may leave you with even more irritated and blemished skin.
