The purchase of a skincare product comes with a very high hope that it will work and also on time too. And when it doesn’t work as stated, the blame is placed on the seller or the brand.

However, there are some mistakes made by the buyer that may not be obvious to them but they go a long way in determining the effectiveness of the skincare product they buy.

Nollywood actress, Biodun Okeowo shares 8 things you should know about skincare.

Read her note here

1). You don’t need to finish a whole bottle of skincare product in 1 week hoping that it will work faster if you apply so much on your skin… it won’t. As a matter of fact, you are causing havoc to the pores and over stressing it, the pores will get clogged, tired and look dull. And this will even make your skincare products not to work well because the surface is blocked…

2). Apply your creams or lotions in little quantities; rub well on your palm before rubbing on your body or face. This allows it distribute well and permeate faster.

3). Always shake your skincare products well before use. Sometimes organic products tend to settle so you need to shake before use.

4). Don’t ever use a product meant for night in the day.

5). No treatment should be used under the eyelid or close to the eyes, except if they are treatment for dark circles or puffy eyes. Whatever you do, leave the eye areas out. Reason for this is because the eyes areas are very sensitive.

6). Follow all instructions on your skincare product to avoid misuse.

7). Make exfoliating a habit once or twice a week preferably at night.

8). Always wear your sunscreen.
