Are you using too much product? Here’s how to tell

I’m one of those people who get in the shower and go rogue with the conditioner – we’re talking a palm-sized portion if my hair is extra tangled.

Turns out I’m using way too much (no real surprise there) – but even if you’re using considerably less product than me, you’re probably overdoing it, too.

ALSO SEE: Are you wearing the wrong moisturizer for your skin type?

So next time you’re getting ready for bed, try to aim for that hazlenut-sized dollop of face wash, two peanuts worth of moisturizer and a blueberry-sized portion of night cream because overdoing it on cosmetics can lead to clogged pores, greasy skin, weighed-down hair and overly-clumpy eyelashes – and no one wants that. Another huge plus? If you’re using the right amounts, it makes shelling out the big bucks on your favourite products a little less painful.
