How to Patch-Test Properly
Avoid adverse reactions by testing new products on a small, discreet area of skin before applying them to your full face.
Introducing a new product carries the risk of irritation or allergic contact dermatitis. Patch testing allows you to observe how your skin responds in a controlled manner.
The Testing Process
- Apply a small amount to the inner forearm or behind the ear.
- Keep the area dry and avoid washing it for 24 hours.
- Monitor for redness, itching, or burning.
- Repeat this process for three to five days.
If you experience any immediate discomfort, wash the product off immediately. It is important to note that a negative patch test does not guarantee you will never have a reaction, but it significantly reduces the likelihood of a widespread flare-up.
Always patch-test new products to identify potential sensitivities before full-face application.
