We advise people with skin sensitivities to introduce ANY new products in the following way:
- only ever effect one change at a time. In other words don’t decide “on Monday I am going to start a detox diet, change my skincare products and start exercising”.
- Start with one product at a time. This way if there are any bad reactions, you can clearly identify the cause.
- Apply a tiny amount of the product (the size of a small match head) to pulse points on your wrists and behind your ears, so as to afford the body an unpressurised opportunity to analyse the complexity of the product at its leisure without concern over the high concentration applied. Do this for 3 consecutive days, slightly increasing the amount each time. If you have no reactions, start using the product as suggested in the Directions for Use. If you do experience inflammation, stop applications immediately for a few days and resume at the match-head quantities for a longer period.
- After a week without incident, introduce the next product in the same way.
