second . . . consider switching to laundry products that contain no chlorine, phosphates, artificial fragrances, or dyes . . . (i order Seventh Generation products online)

third . . . consider switching to personal hygiene products that are organic that contain no synthetic chemicals or ingredients . . . (i prefer Aubrey Organics . . . so many products claim to be organic but i haven't found any brand more organic than Aubrey Organics.)

fourth . . . find a good organic moisturizer for your skin.

fifth . . . don't over-dry your skin by bathing in hot water or by taking too many showers/baths. cold water is best for helping your skin heal.
