Hi all, looking for some advice on patch testing. It seems there are a couple of ways to do it - namely attaching glue to plaster and placing on upper arm or behind the ears, or (as advised in my training) attaching two extensions to the outer corner of one eye.
Although advised on my training to do the latter, I am concerned about instigating an allergic reaction in that area. Surely it's better to do it away from the eye?
Secondly, (for those of you that use the eyelash method) do you go through the rigmarole of lying client down, applying gel pads etc, or do you literally just get them to close their eyes while you quickly apply two lashes?
Would be interested to hear views on what you guys all do! Want to make sure I'll be doing it correctly. And before any of you ask, no I didn't go on a very good training course, and patch testing was only very briefly discussed. I am due to go on a much better course soon lol!! x
