My back/chest/stomach areas are sensitive to lotion, meaning I break out if I use some. Whenever I stop using lotion my skin clears up, but it does get dry so that's why I want to use lotion. My doctor said Eucerin shouldn't bother me, but it did. I've also tried Lubriderm, St. Ives, and Jergens.

There are any number of chemicals that your skin could be reacting to. You need to find a good botanically based lotion, preferably, one without mineral oils. Any of the massage lotions are perfect (like Alba Botanica) but can be difficult for the general public to get ahold of.
The company I rep for makes botanically based body care products. You should check out Arbonne's body lotions. It's a little higher priced than what you'll get in the drugstore, but it's because they stay away from cheap ingredients that cause reactions.
Most people know that Hypoallergenic means that a product has been tested for chemical reactions. What they don't know is that, in order to use the term "hypoallergenic" you only need a success rate of 6 out of 10 people. That means that 40% of that company's clients can still be having an adverse reaction. Arbonne maintains a level of 100% success. If even one person has a raction, they send that product back to the drawing board!

Go to bed bath and body works in the mall you'll see some of the lotions say for sensitive skin on them.

Hi, I can recommend a company called Arbonne. People have been able to use their products when others bothered them. You can check out their products at http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com The only thing is they only ship in the U.S. and Canada.
If you sign my guestbook and ask for a sample of the body lotion I will send you one. I only have one on hand right now so please let me know that you are the one with the problem with lotions.

Cetaphil, with the green label. I get a rash on my left hand that is sensitive to any type of lotion or oil. Cetaphil is the only lotion that does not make the rash worse and it makes my skin soft.

For OTC remedies, try Cetaphil, or add a little baby oil or mineral oil to your bath water. Olive oil works well, too, but then you end up smelling like an Italian restaurant. Not necessarily a bad thing, but... At any rate, it's important to moisturize your skin while it's wet, like right after a bath or shower, to keep the moisture in.

I used to have sensitive skin problems. after using the Pure Extra Virgin Olive OIL from Japan, my skin condition is in very much better condition now.
Email to following website for FREE OLIVE OIL SAMPLES and their recommendation. The staff is very prompt and helpful too.

I use Aveeno, Intense Relief Cream with natural colloidal oatmeal in it. It lasts through hand washing, moisturizes for 24 hours, and is non-greasy. I love it. You will too!
