FEROSUP · Skincare

Local application means applying the preparation to the indicated area of the body. In care, it informs about the method of use, and not automatically about the healing effect.

Place of use and purpose

Cosmetics can be used to care for hands, body, neckline or external intimate areas. The convenient gel form does not allow them to be used interchangeably. Not only the types of ingredients are important, but also their concentrations, combination and expected contact with a specific surface. The words local and external are not a complete guide: you need to check the areas excluded from the application. A skin preparation should not be treated as a product intended for consumption, even if it has a fruity scent.

Amount and contact time

Usage description may include serving size, need for gentle massage, and frequency. More or longer contact does not necessarily improve the result. They may increase viscosity and the risk of unwanted contact with other areas. Before using a product that is intended to remain on the skin during sexual intercourse, check the recommendations regarding contact with your partner and compatibility with condoms. Do not infer such properties from the name, color or similarity to another preparation.

Use carefully

Apply the product with clean hands and avoid getting it into your eyes. Indicating use on intact skin means abrasions and irritations, also after shaving, are taken into account. If unexpected, persistent discomfort occurs, discontinue use and follow label instructions. Don't treat pain or severe burning as a necessary step in achieving results. For preparations other than cosmetics, the procedure is determined by their own instructions and product status, and not by the general definition of application.
