Sensitive skin?!

Sensitive skin?

My skin is so impossibly sensitive!

There are some perfect quality fabrics that will bring my skin out in rash.
I get all itchy in summer and itchiness lasts until the next spring. Sometimes my skin burns like crazy after being exposed to the sun (wearing lotion, not being in the sun long).
Some products like body lotions, creams or shaving foams would create burning sensation when applied.
I don't have acne, but often get spots on my jaw area and under the chin.
Sometimes I itch all over for no apparent reason.

I try using as little products as possible on my skin and I make sure I use good quality products. It took me a while to find shaving gel that doesn't burn my legs, though.

I take oath baths occasionally. I moisturise.
I eat lots of fresh fruits and veg and seeds, mostly organic, and I believe I get enough iron, omegas etc.

My GP gave me 2 different medicines for allergies and they only made the situation worse. The pill didn't help either.

Any help greatly appreciated!

LOL, I wanted to say OAT baths, not oath baths :-D

You may have sun intolerance. It is not common but it happens. Ask your GP about it.

Avoid sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate for a start. Shaving foams and many other foaming products contain these detergents, which are irritating.

Try rosehip oil. It may feel like burning as soon as you apply it because your skin is so sensitive but it will subside. You can also try sea kelp bioferment.
