? ? Have you ever wondered: Why do you feel useless after using the same star product, other people's skin looks completely new? The answer may be unexpected-the problem isn't the product itself, it's how much you use it!

Recently, I received a lot of confusion from fans: "Blogger, I bought a very expensive cream, why do I feel useless?", "Use it according to the instructions, but the skin is still the same..." Today, I want to tell you a key factor that is overlooked by most people: the dosage of skin care products is the invisible key to determining the effect!

? Scientific Truth: How Does Dosage Affect Effects?

Double damage of excessive VS insufficiency:

· Insufficient dosage: an effective protective film cannot be formed, and the concentration of active ingredients is not enough
· Excessive dosage: wastes products, increases the burden on the skin, and may cause closure

Gold dosage standard (advice from dermatologist):

· Cleansing product: almond size (about 2 g)
· Essence: 1 yuan coin diameter (about 0.5 ml)
· Cream: 2 pearl size (about 1 g)
· Sunscreen: 1 yuan coin volume (about 1.2 ml)
· Eye cream: rice grain size (about 0.1 g)

 

? Self-test: Are you also using the wrong amount?

✅ A bottle of 30 ml essence has been used for half a year and has not been used up
✅ Squeeze a little sunscreen and apply it all over the face
✅ If you don't want to use the cream, apply a thin layer
✅ Excessive dosage of eye cream leads to fat particles
✅ I use cleaning products so hard that I always feel that I can't clean them

If you win more than 2 items, your dosage needs to be adjusted!

? Smart usage that saves money but not efficiency

Efficient use tips:

1. Preheat with your palm first to increase the absorption rate
2. Apply in layers, and apply the next layer after each layer is absorbed
3. Strengthen key areas and appropriate amounts in other areas
4. The amount used on the neck is half that on the face

Avoid wasting cheats:

1. Use a digging stick to avoid finger contamination
2. Use the product as soon as possible after opening
3. Push-type packaging is more hygienic and the dosage is more accurate
4. Travel wear is suitable for trying new products

 

? Practical dosage measurement method

Simple measurement method:

· 1 pump pressure ≈ 0.5 ml
• 1 knuckle length ≈ 0.5 g
· 1 peanut size ≈ 1 g

Duration reference:

· 150 ml cleansing: should be used up in 2-3 months
· 30 ml essence: should be used up in 1-2 months
· 50 ml sunscreen: should be used up in 1 month


Remember: the correct dosage is the decisive factor of skin care effect! Don't let your skin care effect fail at the last step ~
