3. As much as possible, avoid wearing makeup. If you do use cosmetics, choose all-natural, water-based products.

4. Friction is extremely irritating, so avoid wearing tight clothing such as turtlenecks that can rub against the skin. Be careful about anything that comes close to or into contact with your face. Even holding the telephone receiver against your face for a while can raise the local temperature and irritate sensitive skin.
