Food Intake and Hydration
Diet can play a big part in sensitive skin break outs. A healthy diet (containing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables) will help skin look and be healthy. People with sensitive skin should pay attention to their diet and take note if any foods seem to trigger an allergic skin reaction.
Even some healthy foods may cause a reaction in some people, so do not discount these when you look at possible triggers. Hot and spicy foods are particularly likely to cause a negative effect.
People with sensitive skin should also drink lots of water, which will help keep their skin hydrated. When skin is adequately hydrated, it is healthier and better able to fight off skin irritations.

Generally, products that contain natural ingredients will be better for your skin and less likely to cause allergic skin reaction.
