Sensitive Skin and Skin Irritation

Many people are very sensitive to Skin Care and many young children are showing signs of irritation or sensitivity as well.

I am a Skin Care Consultant of the Ultra Premium Swiss Skin Care and I know that all their entire range of Ultra Premium Skin Care products from their Anti-aging range for Women or Men to the Detoxifying body skin care range based on Sea botanicals to their beautiful range of Children Skin Care are tested using the HRIPT ( Human Repeat Insult Patch Test).  These tests measure the skin reaction of a product on a scale from 0-8 on 50 to 100 people.  This Swiss Ultra Premium company only releases products that test to 0.  Most other companies call their products hypoallergenic if they rate under a 4.

What is Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT)

For decades, this test has been used worldwide to determine if a material has the potential to cause contact sensitization or skin allergies. (Stotts, 1980). In the HRIPT, a small patch of the test material (smaller than the pad of a standard plaster) is applied for 24 hours to the upper arm of each of 50 to 100 volunteer panelists. The material is reapplied three times a week for three weeks at the same site on the upper arm. After a two week rest period, the test material is applied again at the same site. If the test material causes a contact allergy, the test site will appear red, and may be slightly swollen or itchy.

First of all, a dermatologist or doctor should be consulted to determine if the sensitive skin is a result of a more serious underlying health problem. If no other problems are found, then it becomes a situation where a dermatologist may try different sensitive skin care treatments to ease the condition. However, many times this is not enough.
