Before application of any new product, we recommend:
Get expert advice with a ‘Virtual Consultation’ with a Beautology Skin Expert – Here is where you will have all of your questions answered!
Check the ingredients and read the Manufacturer’s guidelines and follow them.
Always check the ingredients to determine whether it contains something that you already know you are allergic to.

Patch test THIS IS USEFUL TO PERFORM ON ALL SKINTYPES FOR SAFETY but especially relevant if you have sensitive skin or prone to negative reactions. Whether you have purchased a sample, trial or full-sized product, follow these directions and monitor for up to 48 hours.
- Patch test - put it on a small area of unbroken skin (preferably behind the ear or the inside of your arm)
- Put on a minimal amount
- Watch the area over the coming minutes / 48 hours - Reactions can happen over a few hours or overnight

NB. In some cases skin may have an initial reaction – redness, breakout, spots etc, which may be perfectly normal as your skin adjusts to the new product (It may get worse before it gets better!)
