How often should I replenish my skincare products?

Why the worst thing you could do while clearing Adult Acne is let yourself run out of product.

I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m repeating myself.  :)  This is really just a follow-up to a previous post where I talk about how much of each product you should use at a time.

I started it out with a conundrum I often experience when facial clients check in, where we don’t see as much progress in their acne clearing as I think we should.  I take a look at when they last purchased.  I know approximately how long each type of product should last when it's used properly (which I will go over a little later), so if it’s been a while, it's not always the case that they’ve stopped buying their products and let their skincare go; often the client has either stretched the products out for budget reasons, or stretched them out figuring they have an upcoming appointment so why not wait. 

The truth is, using too little of each product renders them pretty much useless.

Always remember, products of quality are dose dependent!  Laboratory testing measures performance in specific amounts.

If you don’t use enough of each one, you won't get nearly the full benefit of their features, which means you may as well have thrown your money away. 

It also happens that some people simply skip their morning or evening routines.  This, of course, can also slow progress, but at least it’s not a mystery.  Instead of scolding, I’d rather find a way to simplify and streamline their routine so that it’s easier for them to stick with our program.

So now that we’ve established a new routine of using products correctly with the correct amounts of each, we also want to make sure you don’t run out of your products, which is the subject of this post.  This may seem like a no brainer; I swear, I’m not just filling up blog space so I have something to publish! lol :)  This really is key.

Make sure to order your products in such a way that takes into account my being out of product on the shelves, or out of the salon.  Rule of thumb? Order at least two weeks before you expect to run out of any product.

Better yet, check in with me by email to report on your progress when you’re ready to buy new product, to find out if we need to change or tweak your routine - we often do.

So.  What’s good way to know when to replenish any of the products in your routine?
