Beware of These Natural Ingredients in Your Skin CareIt's time to check the label |

Having sensitive skin feels like walking on eggshells since you never know which new products are going to cause a flare-up. Of course, most products today are labeled specifically for sensitive skin, but here are two things you should watch out for in general: fragrances and essential oils.
Fragrances can often cause irritation, so avoiding them altogether is usually your best option. Pro tip: Look for products labeled "fragrance-free" rather than "unscented," as the latter may still contain ingredients that mask a natural smell.
Though essential oils have become known for their skin care benefits, they still may not work as well for people with sensitive skin. Some of these oils can be too strong and can cause an adverse reaction. For example, tea tree oil (which is commonly used for acne treatment) is not recommended for sensitive skin — and you should generally steer clear of citrus oils as well.
