Please explain why is my sensitive skin lotion still irritating my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin irritation.: Overly dry skin is not as good a barrier against preservatives or chemicals in lotions or other products (as compared to skin that is more intact). As a result, some of these may get through to more sensitive areas of tissue/skin.
