Red, itchy, dry, flaking skin … clearly, I’m allergic to my hand sanitizer, right? Maybe … maybe not. You could actually be experiencing an IRRITANT reaction to the alcohol (not an allergen) as well as an ALLERGIC reaction to its fragrance (a top contact allergen). Skin reactions aren’t all the same. This video walks you through the differences between an allergic and irritant skin reaction so that you can save yourself confusion, time, money, and discomfort from trying and throwing (and trying and throwing) thousands of dollars’ worth of sanitizers, skincare, and makeup!
1:28 – Irritant Reaction
6:15 – Allergic Reaction
