00:00:00.580 --> 00:00:02.944
Your skin changes after a new product.

00:00:03.257 --> 00:00:06.261
Calling every reaction purging can hide the question

00:00:06.281 --> 00:00:09.272
that matters: what did you use, and what

00:00:09.292 --> 00:00:12.402
symptoms appeared? Timing alone cannot tell you the

00:00:12.422 --> 00:00:13.161
cause.

00:00:13.967 --> 00:00:17.371
Some acne-treatment labels describe early worsening.

00:00:17.684 --> 00:00:20.941
That guidance belongs to the named medicine, not

00:00:21.107 --> 00:00:23.219
every moisturiser or serum.

00:00:23.545 --> 00:00:26.296
The same label can also warn about irritation

00:00:26.316 --> 00:00:27.468
that needs attention.

00:00:28.228 --> 00:00:30.926
Write down the product, the first-use date and

00:00:30.946 --> 00:00:35.082
what happened. New bumps, persistent burning, itch and

00:00:35.102 --> 00:00:37.466
blisters are different observations.

00:00:37.793 --> 00:00:40.850
The checklist organises information; it is not a

00:00:40.870 --> 00:00:42.248
diagnostic test.

00:00:42.985 --> 00:00:47.187
Severe, persistent or worsening symptoms need assessment.

00:00:47.487 --> 00:00:50.064
Stop a suspected new cosmetic if it is

00:00:50.084 --> 00:00:51.290
causing a reaction.

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.033
For a prescribed treatment, follow its safety instructions

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.124
and contact the prescriber or pharmacist.

00:00:58.877 --> 00:01:01.361
Do not add exfoliants or extra actives to

00:01:01.381 --> 00:01:03.546
correct an unexplained reaction.

00:01:03.872 --> 00:01:06.276
Keep packaging and useful photographs.

00:01:06.589 --> 00:01:08.567
You do not need to deliberately repeat a

00:01:08.587 --> 00:01:11.098
concerning exposure to prove that it happened.

00:01:11.847 --> 00:01:14.518
An internet six-week rule cannot decide what is

00:01:14.538 --> 00:01:15.730
happening to your skin.

00:01:16.056 --> 00:01:18.421
The full guide helps you record the details

00:01:18.441 --> 00:01:21.564
and recognise when a skincare question needs individual

00:01:21.584 --> 00:01:22.350
assessment.
