Are you suffering from an Apple Watch allergy? Unfortunately, the meteoric development of connected objects such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit bracelet is accompanied by a resurgence of Nickel allergies. Thanks to the new technology CapturifiqueTM, included in some of Skintifique skincare products, you can now wear these objects without any problem!

Connected objects have made a sensational entrance in our daily lives in the last few years, when the growth of the Internet led to a rapid expansion of new technologies which were up to then confined to science fiction. A teenager today could not contemplate the daily life of a teenager in the 90s for example.

Smartphones, tablets, computers, gaming consoles – helped by the development of WiFi and wireless networks – have considerably changed our relationship to our daily life. It has become very easy to consult the weather, to book your next holidays or to monitor your sports performances by using these applications or connected objects.

All this has helped make life easier for many people (or make it more fun!). Yet it also has had other unpleasant repercussions on the lives of some people. They are not the majority of the population, but the impacts on their health are far from negligible.

The apparition of cell phones has caused new demonstrations of Nickel allergy, and the multiplication of sources of exposure has led to a rise in the number of cases linked to technological objects. Recently, several events came up that got noticed by many minds: the New York Times has reported the results of an American study which demonstrates the allergy of a child which was developed at the contact of his iPad, and Fitbit sports bracelets have also had to communicate on cases of Nickel allergy developed on the wrists of some of their users. Even more recently, new owners of an Apple Watch reported cases of allergic break-outs following contact with their new object; an allergy which Apple was aware of, as they had published warnings on their website.

It is tempting to use all the possibilities offered by the multiplication of connected supports. Very tempting indeed.

Yet, if one's skin is allergic to Nickel or other metals, one is clearly exposed to allergic reactions. This is precisely why Skintifique scientists developed CapurifiqueTM; this exclusive technology traps the Nickel and similar metals at the surface of the skin and prevents them from entering into the skin and triggering allergic reactions. For instance, when using the Protective Cream HPS, which includes CapturifiqueTM, one has an 80% chance of being able to be in contact with a smart watch (or other Nickel containing items), for more than 5 hours (and up to 14 hours) without any skin reaction!
