7. If a small amount of product is good, more is even better.
It may seem logical that more is better, but in the case of your complexion, more could actually irritate your skin. Most products will communicate the amount of you should use to achieve the desired results. Using more of a product is no guarantee that it will act faster or better. It will also cost you more in the long run without giving you the results you are looking for. Less is more in this case!

8. You don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days.
Just because the sun is not bright does not mean its powerful rays are not still shining down on you. This myth is realized by those who are outside on a seemingly overcast day at the beach, but end up with a small sunburn after a few hours. Always make sure you use a sunscreen that will protect your skin. If you use a product that has SPF 15 you will avoid 94 percent of the UVB rays while a product with SPF 45 will block around 98 percent of these rays. Anything in between the two will be effective skin protection.
9. The newest products are always the best.
Just because it is a new item in the cosmetics line, it doesn’t mean that it works better than other tried and true products. The best way to find out what products — new and old — really work is by reading reviews from the people who have paid for these products, not from people who were compensated for writing a review. Check out the company’s blogs and always read the good and bad reviews to see what to watch out for. Always keep in mind, one size does not fit all, so what may work for someone else may do nothing for you.
