Here are Dr. Rajan's top tips that for caring for sensitive skin: Do a patch test first ­ If your skin is extremely sensitive, you should always patch test a new product on a small, inconspicuous area before using it on larger areas. You don't want to risk having a reaction all over your face, so test the new product and wait at least 24 to 48 hours to ensure you don't react. New products ­ Introduce new products into your skin care regime one at a time so you can check for any adverse reactions. If you try more than one new product at a time and have a reaction you won't be able to know which one it was. Hands off ­ Even when your hands are clean they can transfer dirt, oils, and other potentially harsh irritants to your face--so try to cut down on the amount of times you touch your face. If your face itches or you need to wipe it, try using a clean tissue or cleansing wipe. Some wipes, like those in the Simple brand line, are specifically formulated for sensitive skin with no harsh ingredients. So if you need to touch your face you can do it knowing no dirt or oils will be transferred that could irritate your skin. Chill out ­ "It is something people often forget," says Dr. Rajan "but your skin reacts to what is going on in your life." If you are stressed about something you are more likely to have a flare-up, so take a break and relax-- your skin will thank you. beauty & spa (Bob Richardson) Voted Best Salon & Best Stylist New to town?
