During our facial routine, we don't always use the right amount of product. This can also be the cause of the ineffectiveness of certain treatments. Little reminder of the correct amounts to use.
Most of us are often far too heavy handed when it comes to using our beauty products. Do you also have the annoying habit of applying your night cream to no longer being able to penetrate it, or even using a whole pipette of serum before your day care? This article is made for you ! And if, on the contrary, you use a very small amount of product … this article will also be very useful for you. Here, we will remind you of the actual amounts to take, depending on the product used in your beauty routine.
Better efficiency and less waste
Using the right amount of product is very important indeed. Important for theproduct efficiency – in the event that you do not use enough -, and also important to avoid waste – in the event that you use too much. To find your way around at best, here is drawing made by Australian skincare brand Mukti Organics. It includes all the facial treatments that we use, and specifies the recommended amount of each.
The right doses compared to the size of fruit
To understand and realize the quantities to use for each facial treatment, we are going to compare them to the sizes of red fruits.
- Let's start with the very small quantities. Those that should not exceed the size of a pomegranate grain. This is the case with eye cream. The serum face can also be used in small doses, count about two grains of pomegranate.
- Then comes the dose corresponding to the size of a blueberry. This quantity is valid for our moisturizer by day, our night cream, but also for our oils face.
- Let's move on to a larger quantity. Our cleanser and our scrub face are products whose recommended dose is comparable to a raspberry.
- The cherry now! The size of this red fruit is the amount we need to take when using a moisturizer with SPF or one mask face.
