Facial TreatmentsQuestion 72 of 100
A client requests a lash and brow tint. What is the correct precaution?
a.No precaution is needed because tints are cosmetic products
b.A patch test is needed only for clients who report allergies
c.The tint should be tested on the lash line itself
d.A patch test should be performed at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, per the manufacturer's directions, and the service refused if any reaction occurs
Explanation
Lash and brow tints and adhesives are common sensitizers that can cause severe reactions near the eye, so a patch test placed away from the eye and read 24 to 48 hours later is standard practice for every client. Self-reported allergy history does not identify first-time sensitization. Testing on the lash line defeats the purpose by exposing the eye to the very product in question.
