Applying Cream - Shall We Slather or Scrimp?

I gave a voucher to my niece for Christmas. It was good for one skin cream (or serum) and one personalized skin tonic.

Happily, she enjoyed the gift, and immediately reminded me of a sample I had given her a while back of my Multi-Vitamin Intense Care Cream, saying this was her product of choice for the 'cream/serum'.

She Scrimps

This took me a bit by surprise, because I developed the multivitamin cream to deeply hydrate mature and dry skin, and my niece (who has beautifully healthy, youthful and normal skin) was so pleased with the sample I had given her, she had been scrimping – using the smallest amount at a time – to make it last as long as possible.

I Slather

Now, when I am testing a product on myself, I will try varying amounts to get an idea of how little or how much the skin will readily absorb. But when I am not testing – and just using a product, I tend to apply a relatively generous amount.

All right, I'll be perfectly honest – I slather it on.

Which is Correct?

Because of my skin products are developed to 'feed' the skin, the best way I can answer a question like this is to give a food-related reply, and here it is: Apply enough to where you feel your skin has had 'a sufficiency' and is neither 'drowning in product' nor 'hungering for more'. 

Vitamins – Good For All Ages

It was a pleasant surprise to learn that my Multi-Vitamin Intense Care Cream can be equally effective (and desired by) a woman in her early 30's as well as a woman in her late 50's. It must be because vitamins are good for every age.
