Be sparing

How often, when we buy a jar of face cream, do we ditch the spatula and use our fingers to take out the cream? We then wonder how come the pot is empty so soon.

A common fault we have is to use too much of the products, whether cleanser, shampoo, anti-aging cream or whatever.

• For cleanser use a dollop about the size of a 10 cent piece.
• Face cream, use enough to cover your little finger.
• A 50 cent blob of shampoo should be plenty for average length hair.
