Take a warm oatmeal bath. Oatmeal baths can soothe your skin and help your relieve any itching. Mix 1 cup (85 g) of colloidal or ground oatmeal into a warm bath. Then, soak for about 20 minutes. Rinse off with cool water, and then towel yourself dry. You can find colloidal oatmeal in the bath department of your local store or online. If you want to make your own colloidal oatmeal, put regular rolled oats into a blender and grind them into a finer consistency.
Avoid harsh soaps. Soaps which are designed to deal with oil skin or which are badly pH balanced can aggravate your sensitive skin. Look for soaps that are designed for “sensitive skin” or that include moisturizers. One study found Dove soaps, and specifically Dove White and Dove Baby to be the most pH balanced for sensitive skin.
