Once you've experienced these signs, the next step is figuring out which chemical is causing your skin to freak out. Prystowsky suggests the bandage use test to determine your skin's reaction. To exercise this at home, apply some of the product to a spot band-aid and leave it on for two days, then remove and take a look at your skin. Is it red? Bumpy? Raised? This is how you know your skin isn't a fan of this product.

If your results prove that your skin is overboard sensitive? It might be time to speak with a professional. "If you cannot find a product to suit your needs because you are reacting to 'everything' then you should see a contact dermatitis specialty dermatologist to try to pinpoint the chemical causing the problem. While not always helpful, it is your best shot at seeing what chemicals you need to avoid," she recommends.
