The amount of product and its placement in your routine can determine how much should be applied to your skin. Using more doesn't always mean better results and can lead to product wastage and potential side effects like pilling or skin congestion. Conversely, using too little may not fully utilize the active ingredients, slowing down desired outcomes.
The recommended quantity depends on factors such as consistency and the percentage of active ingredients in the formula. It's important to observe how your skin responds and adjust accordingly. Patch testing new products before incorporating them into your routine is also advised.
Here's a general guide for product application:
CLEANSER: About the size of a raspberry. Adjust based on makeup, skin type, and daily buildup.
HYDRATOR: A pea-sized amount for full coverage of the face and neck with Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
TREATMENTS: Again, a pea-sized amount, ensuring even coverage of active ingredients.
EYE TREATMENTS: Use an amount equivalent to a pine nut, as the eye area is delicate and requires minimal rubbing.
MOISTURIZER: Aim for a blueberry-sized amount to cover the face and neck adequately. Adjust for dry or dehydrated skin types.
SPF: Apply liberally, follow the two fingers rule to ensure thorough coverage. Reapply throughout the day for maximum protection.
