Just realized I was wasting a ton of product during extractions

For years, I'd just squeeze a big glob of my gel cleanser onto my fingers before starting. Probably used a quarter-sized amount every time. Switched it up about six months ago after a slow day where I really paid attention. Now I use a tiny pea-sized drop, warm it between my palms first, then apply. The thin layer gives me way better slip and control, and I'm not fighting through a thick mess. My bottle of the Glymedx cleanser lasts almost twice as long now. Anyone else find a small change that cut down on product waste?

Used to think more was better... you proved me wrong.

Totally get that. I started doing the same thing with my moisturizer. A little goes a long way once you warm it up.

Same here, warming it up between my palms first makes it spread way easier. @the_ray had a point about using less than you think you need. I used to slather it on, now a pea-sized amount covers my whole face without feeling greasy.
