​​We hear so many women complain about how they can’t find skincare products that work for them or how they waste so much money buying products they don’t even used. Maybe you’re not one those who complain but, has your husband or any relative ever seen your beauty cabinet or closet and give you that “what the heck” look? Then, you're embarrassed and pretend to be angry at them for being nosy or you simply start giving excuses for having so many half-used skincare jars or even untouched ones. Well if it isn’t the case for you, let me tell you that I’ve been there. Sometimes I used to find brand new product jars and asked myself; when did I but this? Yet my skin was still dry, brittle and looking terrible. I used to avoid going out if I don’t have time to apply makeup on or simply didn’t feel like it. 

It’s important to save money and buying products we don’t used is one way of doing the exact contrary. I usually advise people to use natural mask and oils, but we all know it’s not always easy. It takes time, energy and motivation which, is definitely not there after a hard and stressful day at work. Therefore, it’s good to have something to use can that will keep our face looking cleaned and fresh which will, boost your self-confidence. 

Here are some tips on how to get the most from your skincare products. 
 

1. Know your skin type. It helps to find out if you have sensitive skin, dry skin that tends to crack or oily shiny skin. People can experience dry skin all over their body yet have very dry skin on their faces.
2. Know what to look for in a product. It’s important to know what you want in a product as one single product may not always be able to cater to your every need. For example; whether you want a skin lightener or simply anti-aging products, if it’s your first time trying a product,  it’s important  to ask as many questions as possible in order to be well aware of what the outcome might be.   
3. Keep your skin Clean. If you are the type that wear makeup, it’s crucial that you make sure to leave your skin is make up free at bed time. It’s to use a makeup remover but also wash it. It helps to exfoliate three times a week to get rid of dead skin.
4.  Find the root cause of your breakouts. If you don’t usually have acne and you notice signs of  sudden breakouts, you may consider seeing a dermatologist as there might be various reasons for those pimples. 
5. Create a routine and stick to it. Whether you choose to use homemade DIYs or a skincare brand, the key is to have a routine, something that works with your lifestyle. One of the mistakes we often make when using skincare products is, not using it frequently and then expect it to work. No matter how expensive a product is, if it is not used properly, it’s a waste of money. Usually a product needs 60 to 90 to fully show results, when most of us get discouraged after 5 days. The result is one more half-used skincare product in our cabinet. Like everything else our skin needs time, patience, devotion and of course good products to glow and be at it’s best.
6. Take care of yourself. Last but not least; take care of yourself, eat well (i.e.) eat things like fruit and vegetables, exercise, drink lots of water, stay away from alcohol and cigarettes. Above all keep a good sleeping habit because beautiful skin cannot be achieved without enough sleep since our body mostly depends on it for the cells in our body to regenerate.  Let’s stay healthy and be proud to be in our skin.
