Over 80 percent of people experience skin rash caused by allergic reaction to some skin care products. Here are few do's and dont's that you should be aware of when experiencing skin allergy.

Do:

- Avoid using skin care products that contain preservatives, fragrances, formaldehyde or propylene glycol
- Try diluted olive oil as a moisturizer substitute
- Use a chemical-free sunblock, preferably one that contains mexoryl xl/sx filter
- consider getting a patch test if a self-administered use test doesn't identify the offending products

Don't:

- Rule out the possibility that something other than a skin care product is raising a skin rash
- Assume hypoallergenic products will not trigger a reaction. They may still contain ingredients you're allergic to
- Take the word "fragrance-free" at face value. Check a product's list of ingredients to see if it contains a masking fragrance
- Touch your face-especially your eyes-until your nail polish is thoroughly dry. The more coats of polish you apply, the more drying time your nails will require
- Start using a product you even suspect may rile your skin. Allergic reactions don't occur the first time you use the product, and you don't want to break into a rash a week or a month down the road

The best rule especially if you have allergic skin is stay stay in contact with your dermatologist and never "try" new things especially when it comes to skin care products. Always try small amount of product on your hand skin and leave for some time to see if there is no allergic reaction, read product labels and ingredient list.
