Allergic Reation to Josie's Get Even Sun Milk?

Two days ago I used Josie Maran's Get Even Sun Milk after using it only once before weeks ago.  That afternoon my face was itching and red in blotches.  I haven't used it since then but my face is still itching and red.  I wrote a note to Josie Maran's customer service but heard no answer yet.  This is so frustrating because other products of hers don't cause a reaction.  Has anyone else ever had this type of reaction?

I haven't tried that particular product but her original "milk" was a no-go for me.  At first. I liked it.  But then, with continued use, my face got drier and drier.

@InStitches49   I'd suggest you not use the product again and return it for a refund.  What did you expect Jose's people to say?  They can't advise you on medical issues.  All they could tell you is what I said.  They certainly wouldn't admit something was wrong with the product.  It becomes an issue if other people report the same problem.

I'm sensitive to a lot of products.  I can usually use Josie Maran's product without any issues.  But I cannot use her hand serum.  I loved the feel of it at first.  I used throughtout the winter one year.  Then I began to get a reaction to it when I used it the next year .  I took Benadryl as advised by my doctor and washed my hands throughly.  It took a few days to completely clear up.

@InStitches49 I had a allergic reaction to Philosophy Love & Grace Oil Body Mist. I normally use Josie Maran's body milk and body butter. I wanted to try it for some really hot days in the summer. I was covered in a rash were I sprayed it on me. I called QVC Customer Service and they said to return it. I also received a call from a QVC supervisor to return it. I did return it. Waiting for my refund.

I had ordered several of Josie's products last year and had to send back...I have sensitive skin and I broke out with little bumps.  Not sure what was in her products that would cause that.
