## Questions

**How do I try a new body lotion if my skin is sensitive?**

Skin reacts differently, so patch test a new lotion first. Put a little on a small area, such as your inner forearm, and wait a day before using it more widely. Stop if it stings, itches or turns red, and see a dermatologist if a rash or eczema flare doesn't settle.
