This viral graphic shows *exactly* how much beauty product you should actually be applying (and it'll surprise you)
Religiously applying SPF but still burning? Slathering on moisturiser but find that your skin is still dry? It turns out, the cause of your on-going beauty problems could be down to your portion sizes.
When it comes to our skin and hair regimes, size actually does matter. Too much of one product risks wasting product, and too little of another could leave you with serious beauty issues.
We’re all too used to seeing words such as ‘dollop’, ‘drop’ and ‘swipe’ when reading the label on the bottles of our favourite products, but what do these nondescript terms really mean? How much product quantifies a dollop/drop/swipe?
Actually, it turns out the lack of detail that brands give us on exactly how much product to apply could be causing us all kinds of issues. In the most trivial of instances, using too much product means getting through tubs and bottles much quicker than we should. This isn’t just a burden on our bank accounts, but it also contributes to the on-going issue of how environmentally-damaging beauty waste is impacting our planet. However, on the other end of the spectrum, using too little of something could leave you under-protected from external aggravators like UV rays and pollution, and end up causing long-term damage.
So how much of each product should we actually be using? It seems everyone is as baffled as each other. A graphic showing exactly how much of each skincare product you should apply has gone viral online, leaving thousands of women shocked by the sizes.
