Before using the product, test a small area to ensure there are no allergic reactions.
Below are the basic methods of allergy testing:
- **Apply to a small area of the inner arm**: Apply the product you want to perform an allergy test to a small area of the inner arm. This area is usually where the skin is more sensitive and the test results are easier to read.
- **Wait 24-48 hours**: After applying the product, wait 24-48 hours. Allergic reactions may appear during this period. If you experience itching, redness, swelling, or other unpleasant symptoms while waiting, you may be allergic to the product or ingredient.
- **Observe carefully**: While waiting, carefully observe the applied area. An allergic reaction usually causes redness, itching, a rash, and swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms, the product or ingredients may not be suitable for your skin.
- **Rinse off if there is an abnormality**: If you experience an allergic reaction, wash off the product immediately and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
As a note of caution, allergy testing should be done when introducing new products or ingredients, but those who already have sensitive skin or allergies should be extra careful. It is also important to seek advice from your doctor or dermatologist.
