Are you using too much product and are wasting your products?

Learning to use the right amount of product will ensure you will not waste your products by using too much but more importantly that they are effective!

The amount of skincare product you are using matters, the quality of your product matters.

Over the years I have never found a science backed theory of how much product you should use, however we all think by using more of an active serum or a higher percentage of an active ingredient like Glycolic Acid and AHAs, I will get better results, and faster.

How much Face Serum do I use and how often?

Face Serum use 1 pump if you are using a cream blueberry size amount is all you need when it comes to your Moisturiser. I am heavy-handed with my serum because it feels great, but 1 pump is all your skin needs.

Take away tips and tricks:

How much Moisturiser do I use and how often? Obviously, the main goal of any moisturiser for morning and night is to keep your skin adequately hydrated, however, using more will not equal greater hydration. Moisturiser 1 pump is all you need.

One thing to keep in mind, seasons change and can dry your skin out as well. During winter if skin feels drier always your Face Serum under you Moisturiser. In the humidity you may only use your Moisturiser during the day and both Face Serum & Moisturiser at night.
