HOW-TO

PATCH TEST

Patch testing is an important step when introducing new skincare products to your routine.

After having an allergic reaction to a new serum over the weekend, I will never skip a patch test again!

I just picked up some new products & am going to show you how to properly test them!

First, choose a clean & dry area of your forearm to be the testing location.  

Next, apply a small amount of each product* to the arm. 

*If testing more than one, remember the order that you're applying!

Let it dry & sit on the skin for a full 24 hours - taking note of any sensations.

If there was any burning, itching, redness, blisters, or irritation  - do not use the product. 

24 HOURS LATER

This small step may save you a lot of time, pain, & potential damage to your skin!

Next time you pick up a new product, do not skip the patch test!
