3.Dry skin too is a cause for sensitive skin problems. Use a water-based, fragrance-free moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated at all times.

4.Follow a daily beauty routine for overall sensitive skin care. Use mild cleansers, good ones are available under Cetaphil and Neutrogen brands. Follow it with exfoliating with a product that includes salicylic acid and not alpha hydroxyl. During the day, apply a good moisturiser that includes sunscreen. A good sunscreen should include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and avobenzone. Use a richer moisturiser during the night, as the skin is hydrated better during the evenings.
