Introducing a new skincare product without disrupting your routine

The temptation of the whole new

After a beauty discovery, one may want to change cleansing, serum and cream on the same day. If an discomfort appears, it becomes difficult to know what change preceded. A readable routine facilitates discussion and avoids quick conclusions about an entire brand.

Your test book

Enter the full name of the product, the date of first use and the frequency prescribed by the package leaflet. Keep the rest of the routine stable. Ask for advice on how to try a product if you have a history of reaction. A domestic trial does not replace an allergenic test and never guarantees a lack of subsequent reaction.

• Introduce one optional novelty at a time.
• Keep the package leaflet and package until the end of the test.
• Evaluate tolerance, ease of use and actual usefulness.

An example to adapt to your daily life

You receive a box with several new features. Photograph the references, choose the product that meets your priority and keep the others closed during the trial. Enter the date and instructions. If a reaction appears, you can tell what preceded it without confusing five changes. In case of an important reaction history, ask for the procedure to follow before any use. A trial schedule is not a guarantee of safety; it simply makes the approach more readable.

Know how to stop

A painful sensation is not a proof of effectiveness. If a product irritates, stop using it and ask for advice according to the gravity. During the review, compare what the product promised with your concrete goal: an interesting care may not match your need at the moment.
