What Are Skin Allergies?
There are many reasons for skin reactions due to the millions of foreign substances that exist in our environment. Our focus and concern here are with skin disorders associated with allergies. The skin is the body’s largest organ and works much the same as the kidneys and bowels do by excreting toxins and other substances from the body.
As a result, the skin is subject to the development of various bumps and blisters, rash or hives, inflammation, swelling as well as to changes in color, cracking, dryness, flaking, itching, redness, roughness, scaling, thickening, and a host of other problems.
When the immune system is exposed to allergens it produces antibodies that attach themselves to certain cells in the body. These cells are found in the skin, the respiratory system, and the gastrointestinal tracts as well as in the blood. Some of the most common skin reactions are from allergies to chemicals, cosmetics, preservatives, perfumes, skin and hair products, cleaning products, and other substances; insect bites, animal dander, pollens and reactions to plants such as poison ivy.
What is Dermatitis?
Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin that produces scaling, flaking, thickening, color changes, and often times severe itching. Most often times the cause of dermatitis is the result of allergies and this is called allergic or contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis may be caused by contact with perfumes, cosmetics, preservatives, and toiletries.
Whatever the skin irritant is, if the skin remains in constant contact with the allergens that are causing the skin reactions, the dermatitis is likely to spread and become more sever. Stress, especially chronic tension, can cause or intensify dermatitis.

FABULOUS!!! I can't get over just how amazing this cream feels, literally instantaneously, when applied. NO OTHER LOTION I'VE USED HAS COMPARED! I will say as a precaution, when first applying this product, it comes off as a little "greasy", leaving a slight shine. Although, after 5 minutes this moisturizing cream is visibly absorbed by your skin, leaving an unbelievably smooth finish! After another 5 minutes, there is a huge difference between the skin I've used the cream on, compared to the rest of my skin. I can rave on, and on about this product! I highly recommend this moisturizing cream! Give it a try! M.L. Kansas
