Extend your product's lifespan

Sunday, July 08, 2012   |  
Extend your product's lifespanAfter making the decision to spend your hard-earned cash on luxury body products, there are a few things you can do to make sure you get the most out of your luxe body moisturisers, lotions, and creams.

Tips for extending the length and effectiveness of an expensive body cream:

1. Use your body products after your shower when your pores are open and your skin is better able to absorb and retain the nourishing formula.

2. Exfoliating your body prior to applying your expensive body moisturiser. This will ensure a more effective moisturisation.

3. Always store your luxury body products at room temperature, and never leave them in direct sunlight.

How do you get the best out of your luxury body products? Sign in to Beauty Addicts and tell us below…

I put moisturisers on damp skin, so i use less. Also, let moisturiser settle in for a few min before you apply make up. Foundation goes on smoother on a well moisurised face.

I normally follow the pre shower moisturising routine and helps a lot on the occassions where there is just not enough time to moisturise post showering. Great tip!

Try and buy products that you can pour out of a bottle. Products that come in jars can have their lifespan shortened by germs spread by fingers.
