I have to get massages twice a week as part of my physical therapy. This started 3 months ago, but my skin is just now starting to react to the lotion they use. I'm getting bumps all over my back and it's itchy! The girl said it's hypo-allergenic and oil based. I asked for a water based kind and she told me that will cause a reaction. She kinda gave me a hard time, this girl has a slight attitude. I don't want to argue or anything b/c I still have to deal with her twice a week. I think I'll buy my own and bring it with me. Can anyone recommend something for sensitive skin, preferalby non-comedogenic? And where can I buy it? Any good discount websites? Thanks in advance for all you're help and answers!
MASSAGE THERAPISTS, what is the best lotion to use on a client with sensitive skin? And where can I buy it?
First of all, do you have to use this particular MT? Obviously, this MT has forgotten that massage therapy is a service oriented business. You are paying for a service NOT for somebody elses attitude. If you don't have to use her, I would find someone who will listen to you.
As far as I am concerned, you should feel better after a massage, not worse.
I have been an MT since 2000, and there are only 3 types of oil that I would consider using, Jojoba, fractionated coconut oil, and what I use exclusively, is grapeseed oil, which has a very high naturally occurring Vitamin E content.
Reply:Hi, I'm not a massage therapist but I know that pure Olive Oil is good for sensitve skin and can be used for massage, must be the Extra Virgin Pure Olive oil though.
Reply:Try the original Nivea cream.
