Spiralling bills means cutting back on some of life's luxuries. So if you're counting the pennies, making your beauty products last longer is key. Here are my tips on getting the most out of your Heaven favourites.
Don’t leave the lids off your creams: Due to their high water content, skincare products start to evaporate if they are not sealed. Decant into a smaller jar or use travel-size bottles so you can open and close those each day, leaving the larger pot intact.
Exfoliate for healthier skin: Applying moisturiser without this key step means dead skin cells sit on the surface of your skin causing dryness and dehydration. Use my Bee Peel a couple of times a week to resurface and even out tone, and provide the perfect base for your face creams.
Layer your products: When you layer a few T-shirts it keeps you warmer than wearing one jumper, because warm air is trapped between the layers and acts as an insulator. It’s similar with skincare. Layering your moisturisers means extra benefits while using less product. Apply the thinnest cream first then finish with the thickest.
Add a serum: Infuse your moisturiser with a few drops of serum. Only mix products from the same beauty brand so you know they will blend properly. My serums are made with a more potent infusion than our creams, so they’ll mix effortlessly.
Don’t mix products with water: It may be tempting to do this if you think it will make them last longer,. However, tap water contains microscopic moulds that will make your product go off quickly. Instead, apply moisturiser to dampened, freshly-toned skin – try my Hydrogels – to seal in moisture.
Opt for multi-use products: Save the pennies by choosing a product that has more than one use. My Cleanse & Foam is a three-in-one daily essential. It's a non-abrasive exfoliator, toner and cleanser to improve elasticity while balancing oil levels.
So what is transitional skincare? As the seasons change, so too should the products you put on your skin. You can read more on my blog here.
